CDL Truck Driver Jobs in Lykens, PA

A CDL (Commercial Driver's License) Truck Driver plays a critical role in the transportation industry by ensuring the safe and timely delivery of goods. Their tasks include planning routes, inspecting vehicles for mechanical items and safety issues, and complying with truck driving rules and regulations (size, weight, route designations, parking, and break periods). It is their responsibility to manage loads, keep logs of their activities, report any incidents or issues encountered, and maintain a professional and customer-focused attitude. CDL Truck Drivers are key links in the supply chain, as they facilitate the movement of goods from manufacturers to consumers, impacting sectors such as retail, food services, and manufacturing.

Prior to becoming a CDL Truck Driver, an individual might have held roles such as a delivery driver, warehouse worker, or freight handler. These positions provide the necessary experience in handling goods, understanding delivery protocols, and operating within the logistics sector. In addition to prior experience, a CDL Truck Driver must possess a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and often undergo further specialized training depending on the type of materials they transport. Essential skills for this role include a solid understanding of road safety, excellent time management to ensure timely deliveries, mechanical knowledge to perform basic vehicle maintenance, and physical stamina to manage long hours on the road.
