    I consider anyone who drives a truck as a trucker. Doesn't matter if its local, regional or OTR. Straight truck or tractor-trailer. Hell if you've got a CDL of any type I'd say you're a trucker.

    According to the DOT he is and there the law and there's is the only word that counts. Does he have a CDL? If so then he's a professional driver and a "trucker".

    Who cares? It's not like you get some sort of special trucker badge if your peers think your a trucker.

    Call me what you wish, I've been known to drive a straight truck, tractor/trailer, and 1-ton truck. Heck, I even drive a car every now and then.

    Class A, class B, either, or both, have to put up with the same B.S. regardless. I have a class A cdl but I spend the majority of my time in a B truck, same B.S.

    Yeah what's the big deal I'm a truck driver, that means I drive trucks, tractor trailers, straight trucks, pick up trucks, bus any commercial vehicle, that's what I do, talk about a bunch of splitting hairs.

    There are Truckers and there are Truck Drivers.
    Let's not forget about the Window Lickers/ Steering Wheel Holders.
