Many local truck drivers, particularly driver/sales workers, load and unload their trucks. This requires considerable lifting, carrying, and walking each day.

The typical workweek is Monday through Friday (standard 40 hours per week); however, evening, night shift, overtime, and weekend hours are common in some branch offices. Some Drivers often travel on nights, holidays, and weekends to avoid traffic delays.
