Solo truck drivers are truck drivers who are just that, solo. These drivers are not on a team, but drive for themselves. Drivers who take on solo truck driving jobs are responsible for all of the duties a truck driving team may have on the road. This can be general maintenance of the vehicle, performing safety checks before and after a freight load, route planning and the driver may have to help load and unload cargo. The main benefit of solo truck driving jobs is that the driver is in control of how they work, when they drive and when they rest.
