If you become a dedicated driver, you are dedicated to driving routes for just one customer. You may work for a trucking company or for a typical customer of trucking companies, such as a grocery store, manufacturer, or retail store. Rather than changing up your routes and customers from day to day, you cover the same routes for the same people every time you get into your truck.

Dedicated drivers work a variety of shifts. However, once you are assigned to a shift, you typically stay on it indefinitely as to allow your customer stability in their drivers. Typically, dedicated drivers work five days a week and get weekends (or two days in the middle of the week) off. This may allow you to enjoy more time with your family at home.
You can plan on driving the same truck every day you go into work. As you get acclimated to your dedicated position, you may learn the quickest ways to complete your routes and build a professional relationship with your customer. This may give you the chance to earn raises and bonuses for keeping your client happy.
