Frequently Asked Questions on Solo Trucking 

What is solo trucking?

Solo trucking is a type of truck driving job where a single truck driver operates a commercial vehicle independently. Done without a co-driver or team member, Solo trucking refers to a type of truck driving job where a single truck driver operates a commercial vehicle independently, without a co-driver or team member. In solo trucking, the driver is solely responsible for all aspects of the trip, including driving, navigation, vehicle maintenance, and compliance with transportation regulations. This mode of trucking offers drivers a high degree of independence and control over their journeys.

Is it better to drive solo or team?

The choice between solo and team truck driving depends on a person’s preferences and career goals. Solo truck driving offers greater independence and control over one's schedule but may lead to extended periods of solitude on the road. Team truck driving on the other hand can provide shared responsibilities, faster deliveries, and companionship but may require coordination and compromise with a co-driver.

How do I prepare for solo truck driving?

Typically you would need to obtain your CDL license, gain experience with hauls and have strong time management and navigation skills.

Is solo truck driving lonely?

Some drivers may find it isolating, but staying connected through calls, podcasts or audiobooks helps.

What challenges might I face as a solo truck driver?

Typically you may face longer hours driving without a partner to share the workload. You will have to manage rest stops and safety alone. Lastly, balancing work-life responsibilities is important to our drivers.  

Can I transition from team driving to solo driving?

Yes! Many drivers transition to solo driving once they feel confident handling responsibilities independently.
