How freight demand continues to create opportunity for professional truck drivers

Freight transportation remains one of the most important parts of the American economy. Every day, truck drivers move the materials and equipment that allow businesses to operate, construction projects to continue, and stores to keep their shelves stocked.

Because of this constant need for freight transportation, experienced CDL-A drivers remain in strong demand across many areas of the trucking industry.

The Role of Experienced Drivers

Drivers who have several years of experience often qualify for freight operations that require additional skill and attention to safety.

  • Flatbed freight
  • Heavy haul equipment transportation
  • Oversized loads
  • Regional freight routes

These types of freight operations require drivers who understand cargo securement, safety regulations, and long-distance transportation.

Buchanan Hauling and Rigging has developed extensive expertise in these operations during more than 30 years in the transportation industry.
