These roles involve transporting freight for a single client or along specific, pre-defined routes. For example, a driver might consistently haul goods for a particular retailer between its distribution centers and stores. This contrasts with over-the-road (OTR) positions that often have variable destinations and schedules.
This type of employment offers advantages such as predictable schedules, consistent pay, and the opportunity to develop familiarity with routes and client operations. Historically, such arrangements have been attractive to drivers seeking work-life balance and stability compared to the often-unpredictable nature of broader trucking assignments. This structured environment can improve efficiency and reduce stress for transport professionals.
