As a truck driver, it is important to know roads and traffic signs well. It is important to be able to work independently and to show patience and courtesy both when communicating with customers and when in traffic. Being in good physical condition is also important, as the work can be physically demanding.
To work as a truck driver, a driving license responding to the size of the truck is needed. Sometimes it is also required that the driver has completed a so-called ADR course for drivers transporting dangerous goods. Furthermore, machinery operation rights are often required, for example on forklifts.
