    My older brother drives a class b tanker truck works long hours and is lucky to have a day off. So my question to you all is a class b driver really a trucker?

    If they have to follow a
    FMCSA laws and hours of service then yes they are truckers.

    Yes, he's a trucker. Does he have Class-A license?
    Where is his location?

    drove from NC to Canada and back every week on a class B, when I started out.
    I'd say yup.

    No he's not a Trucker. .Class B guys are as much truckers as guys who wear Harley gear but don't have a bike are bikers

    Only difference between class A and class B is: a trailer.

    I think the understanding of: A Trucker, goes long haul. Really doesn't matter if straight truck, or tractor trailer.

    My older brother. When he was 16. He bought a CB radio for his car. As far as he was concerned, he was a 'trucker'. :rolleyes:
