Divisions of trucking

Image001

It is a well-known fact that there is variety in a truck driving job. Indeed, each day holds something different from your location to your load. However, what some may not know is that along with the variety of the job, there is also variety in the type job.

It’s true, if you want to be a truck driver, but don’t quite like the sound of an over the road lifestyle, check out the variety in some of the other divisions of trucking. CR England currently has five divisions of trucking, including national or over the road. The other divisions are Dedicated, Regional, Intermodal and International.

Dedicated trucking is a type of truck driving job where you are “dedicated” to a customer. With a Dedicated truck driving job you still have the opportunity to drive across the nation depending on where your customer is located. With Dedicated, truckers are able to find a more meaningful life off the road and a greater responsibility on it.

Regional truck driving means you drive a certain region of the United States. For example, you could cover the western region and drive between California, Utah and other western states. With Regional trucking, truckers are dealing with a short haul market and experiencing a truck driving job that is close to home and far from ordinary.

Intermodal trucking is a rising trend in transportation and CR England is quickly growing their presence in the Intermodal industry. With intermodal trucking, truck drivers generally drive between a local customer and rail yards or ship yards. Intermodal truck driving is a local position where drivers can have the opportunity to be home most nights.

International trucking literally crosses boarders and allows CR England to assist customers from countries such as Mexico and China. With International trucking, the transportation industry is able to reach new heights and become better than ever.

As you can see, there are plenty of truck driving options in the industry. If OTR trucking isn’t for you, try looking at some other divisions of trucking where you are sure to find one that fits you.
