Straight Truck Jobs in Friendswood, TX

A Straight Truck, also known as a box truck or a cube van, plays an essential role in the transportation industry. These vehicles are crucial for local deliveries and short hauls, often carrying goods from warehouses to retail outlets, or delivering packages in urban areas. Straight Trucks are typically easier to navigate in congested areas compared to larger tractor-trailers, making them ideal for delivery in densely populated regions. They serve as a vital cog in the supply chain, ensuring the smooth and timely transportation of goods to their final destination.

To operate a Straight Truck, one must possess a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) - specifically a Class B CDL - or a specialized Straight Truck certification. Important skills for this role include the ability to operate and maintain the vehicle, strong spatial awareness for loading and unloading goods, as well as navigation and route planning skills. Prior job roles that can lead to this position may include a delivery driver, a warehouse worker, or a forklift operator, each providing relevant experience in handling goods, understanding delivery procedures, and operating commercial vehicles.
