While it is easy to assume that a truck driver only needs to know how to drive a truck, the reality is that a truck driver needs to carry out inspections and basic mechanical work, fill out paperwork, communicate with other drivers and, of course, drive the truck safely. What’s more, there are a variety of specialized truck driver roles, each of which come with their own specialized job duties.

Mechanical Work

A truck driver needs to know that his truck is mechanically sound every time he turns it on. This means that every single run starts with an inspection and any quick repairs that are necessary. A truck driver therefore needs to be able to have enough knowledge to understand what to look for in his inspection and enough attention to detail to make his inspection clear and thorough.
