About the road transport sector
The road transport sector is a large business in Norway. Professional drivers are important throughout the country and they drive long distances annually across the road networks of Norway and abroad.
Commercial transport: Goods and passenger transport
Being a commercial driver can be demanding and it is more than just driving a truck or a bus from one place to another. Drivers must also be able to deal with different types of agreements and documents as well as having good knowledge of traffic regulations and driving conditions in general. Drivers in passenger transport must also be able to deal with customers and passengers. As a driver, one must be familiar with regulations that apply to the sector, including rules about driving hours and rest times, securing dangerous cargoes and requirements for having chains on board.
Read more about the driving conditions and regulations in the Trucker’s Guide issued by The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (the guide is available in several languages).
Important about driving conditions: many of the Norwegian roads are narrow, many are winding, and driving conditions in the winter can be very challenging, even at times extremely difficult.
