Linehaul Driver careers
A Linehaul Driver is responsible for transporting goods over long distances, typically between depots, distribution centres, or cities. This role involves operating heavy vehicles such as semi-trailers, B-doubles, or road trains, often adhering to strict schedules and safety regulations.
Linehaul drivers generally work set routes, either during the day or overnight, and are expected to conduct routine vehicle checks, maintain accurate delivery records, and comply with fatigue management and road transport laws.
Physical demands are moderate, but long hours and extended periods away from home are common. Excellent driving skills, attention to detail, and a strong focus on safety are essential for success in this position.
