Hiring a Professional Driver For Your Rental Moving Truck
You Have Two Options
Finding A Person To Drive Your Rental Truck Or Hire Rented Truck Driver!
Hire a Professional Driver for Your Rental Moving Truck
Moving is stressful enough. Between packing, logistics, and deadlines, the last thing you should worry about is driving a 26-foot moving truck across state lines. That’s where a professional rental truck driver comes in, someone who drives your rental truck safely and efficiently while you relax or fly to your new home.
RentedTruckDriver.com, we make it easy to hire a qualified driver for your U-Haul, Enterprise Budget or any rental truck anywhere in the United States.
What Does a Professional Rental Truck Driver Do?
A professional rental truck driver is someone experienced in operating large moving trucks and ensuring your belongings arrive safely.
Our drivers are trained to:
- Handle 10’–26′ moving trucks with or without trailers
- Navigate long-distance routes safely and efficiently
- Keep your belongings secure throughout the trip
- Communicate clearly during pickup, transit, and delivery
- Meet exact pickup and delivery times, no vague “arrival windows”
You rent the truck. We drive it for you.
Why Hire a Professional Driver Instead of Doing It Yourself?
Driving a rental truck isn’t like driving your car or SUV. These vehicles are heavier, slower, and harder to maneuver, especially through mountains, construction zones, or tight city streets.
When you hire a professional driver for your moving truck, you:
- Avoid fatigue and long-distance stress
- Eliminate the risk of accidents or vehicle damage
- Save time and money on unnecessary hotel stays
- Focus on your move instead of worrying about the drive
- Have peace of mind knowing your belongings are in safe hands
Two Main Options: Independent Driver vs. Professional Service
1. Hiring an Independent Driver
You might find someone locally who offers to drive your truck, but you’ll need to handle all vetting yourself.
Be sure to ask:
- Do they have experience driving large trucks?
- Is their license valid and in good standing?
- Do they carry insurance coverage?
- Have they driven across states before?
- If they are unable to drive, do they have an alternative driver?
You can also run a background check or request their MVR (Motor Vehicle Record) to confirm a clean driving history.
2. Hiring a Professional Service (Like Rented Truck Driver)
When you use RentedTruckDriver.com, all that screening is done for you.

- Fully vetted and insured professional drivers

Worth every penny! Excellent overall customer service and communication. The driver, David, was experienced at transporting long distance and has great communication skills. Truly took away all stress for the move of a 20 ft truck from Charleston, SC to the Cleveland, OH area. Highly recommend the company.
The process could not have gone smoother. Everyone was very responsive to any questions I had. Jim, the driver, was thoughtful, personable, timely, and arrived with everything in one piece. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the service again.
Hiring A Professional Driver Service
Why hire a professional driver service for your U-Haul or other rental moving truck? Moving can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, but hiring a professional driver to handle your rental truck can make the process much smoother.
Thinking about renting moving truck? You have two options.
- Do It Yourself
- Hire Rented Truck Driver
If you choose to do it yourself you will need to ask some key questions to ensure they’re a good fit for your needs. Here are some examples:
What is your driving experience?
Have you driven a moving truck before?
Do you have a valid driver's license and insurance?
What is your availability? Can you accommodate our moving schedule?
What is your rate for driving our rental moving truck?
Have them provide you proof of their experience driving larger vehicles, such as trucks or buses
What happens if you become unavailable for the job?
Gain an understanding of their familiarity with the truck's size and handling, as well as the weight distribution of your belongings.
If you are comfortable with the answers the next step will be to do a deep dive into their experience as a professional driver. To do this you should:
Have them explain their knowledge of how to check that you have to properly loaded and secure your items in the truck for safe transport.
Expertise in driving commercial vehicles, which can be helpful when navigating busy streets or highways.
Knowledge of federal regulations regarding commercial driving, ensuring your move is in compliance with the law.
Training in safety procedures, such as conducting pre-trip inspections and handling emergencies on the road.
Peace of mind knowing that your driver is qualified and experienced in driving large vehicles.
Confirm they have a "Class B" license and a clean driving record. To accomplish this have them provide you with a notarized copy of their driving record. You only want to hire someone to drive your truck that has a "Class B" license and a clean driving record with no major accidents or violations during the past 5 years.
Conduct a background check. You do not want to hire someone that has a history of stealing items.
Or you can focus on other things and hire Rented Truck Driver to safely transport your belongings in days, not weeks to your new home.
