The type or “class” of CDL a truck driver needs depends on the type of commercial motor vehicle operated. A truck driver may hold a CDL in one of three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C.

For more information on the different classes of CDLs, why a CDL is needed, as well as cost, experience and other requirements to get a CDL, visit Truck Driving Job Resources.

Driver Type refers to employment situations or driving arrangements in which a truck driver operates. The most common truck driver arrangements include:

Company Driver: Drivers employed by a specific company that maintains its own fleet of trucks. “Companies” can be (1) trucking carriers that exist for the sole purpose of transporting freight of others, or (2) companies that carry its own freight to support its own company’s product or service.
Lease-Purchase: Drivers hired by carriers where the truck is leased to the driver for a fee until the truck is paid off and the driver assumes ownership of the truck.
Owner Operator (OO): Drivers who own the truck he or she operates as an independent business. Owner operators can also be referred to as "independent contractors."
Team Driver: Drivers operating with a partner who shares driving duties and other tasks with the other partner.

Trailer Type (or equipment type) refers to the cargo a truck driver is hauling. Whether it’s dry goods, refrigerated goods, gasoline, or livestock, drivers are required to know how to handle their truck, their trailer and the cargo they are pulling. Different types of materials require different types of trailers, and each type of trailer offers drivers its own challenges.

Regional Routes: These routes are within a specific region which may be as small as a few counties in a state, a state itself, or a number of states.
Over the Road (OTR) Routes: OTR routes are longer regional or cross-country routes which often make one delivery or several deliveries along the way.

For more information on Route Types, including the pros and cons of driving each, visit Truck Driving Job Resources.

Endorsements are required “permissions” (or certifications) for CDL holders driving and hauling various types of equipment and freight. Although there are more endorsements available, the most common endorsements for long haul truck drivers include:
