When browsing on Indeed, the majority of jobs will post something like “minimum of *** years driving a tract-trailer” for the required experience. But I came across a posting that stated “at least one year driving a 48-53 ft tractor-trailer” (not word-for-word, but close), and that has me thinking. If all your experience is driving a shorter truck like many of the Sysco trucks, will most employers care so long as it’s a combination vehicle and not a straight truck?
I currently drive a tract-trailer dump truck primarily hauling asphalt, and I believe it’s around 40 ft long (I need to ask and ascertain the exact length). Will this matter much if searching for a job? I’d also add I’d like to eventually get into fuel hauling, and again most of those jobs just require a certain amount of experience driving a T-T (and having the endorsements), but don’t state anything about the trailer length.
Experience driving shorter trailers (like Sysco)
