What is a CDL and what are the different classes of CDLs?

A commercial driver’s license (CDL) is a driver’s license required to drive large, heavy, or signed dangerous goods vehicles in stores in the United States. The type or “class” of CDL a truck driver needs depends on the type of commercial vehicle being operated. A truck driver can own a CDL in one of three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C.

For more information on the different classes of CDLs, why a CDL is required, and costs, experience, and other requirements to obtain a CDL, see Truck Driving Job Resources.

What are the different driver types?

Driver type refers to employment situations or driving arrangements in which a truck driver is engaged. The most common agreements for truck drivers are:

  • Company driver: Drivers who work for a specific company that has its own fleet of trucks. “Corporations” can mean (1) trucking agents who are solely used to move other people’s cargo, or (2) companies that carry their own cargo to support their own company’s products or services.
  • Hire purchase: Drivers hired by hauliers who rent the truck to the driver for a fee until the truck is paid off and the driver takes ownership of the truck.
  • Owner operator (OO): Drivers who own the truck that he operates as an independent company. Owner-operators can also be referred to as “independent contractors”.
  • Team rider: Drivers who interact with a partner who shares driving and other tasks with the other partner.

What are the different types of trailers?

Trailer type (or equipment type) refers to the cargo that a truck driver carries. Whether dry goods, refrigerated goods, petrol or livestock – drivers need to know how to handle their truck, trailer and towed load. Different materials require different types of trailers, and each type of trailer presents its own challenges to the driver.

For more information on trailer types, including the types of companies that rent each trailer type, as well as driver requirements, required confirmations, compensation and salary structures, see Truck Driving Job Resources.

What are the different types of routes?

Route type refer to the routes that are assigned to a truck driver. The most common route types in the trucking industry include:

  • Dedicated routes: These routes are assigned to specific drivers who drive the specially assigned routes and not others.
  • Local routes: These routes are locally based routes that usually run daily and include multiple stops for unloading cargo.
  • Regional routes: These routes are within a specific region, which can consist of just a few counties in a state, a state itself, or a number of states.
  • Over the Road (OTR) routes: OTR routes are longer regional or cross-country routes that often make one or more deliveries en route.

For more information on route types, including the pros and cons of driving, see Truck Driver Job Resources.

What is a confirmation?

Acknowledgments are required “permits” (or certifications) for CDL holders who drive and transport various types of equipment and cargo. Although there are more endorsements, the most common endorsements for truck drivers are:

  • Double / triple rooms: This confirmation is required for drivers pulling double or triple trailers.
  • HazMat (dangerous goods): This note is required for the transport of dangerous substances such as flammable liquids, flammable liquids, gases and other explosive substances.
  • Tanker: This note is required for the operation of a tank truck, both vehicles being equipped with a permanent or temporary tank.
