Many local truck drivers, particularly driver/sales workers, load and unload their trucks. This requires considerable lifting, carrying, and walking each day.

Machinery operation requires the use of safety equipment including but not limited to steel-toed boots.

Some Drivers often travel on nights, holidays, and weekends to avoid traffic delays.
