Работа на кругах

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Road freight transport/Trucking
The client suggests "roundtrips", but I am not convinced as this also sounds like a return/both-way trip.
From what I understand, the idea is for a truck/lorry driver to be on the road away from home for up to several months.
Most Google results also suggest that this may be a phenomenon more common for drivers based in the Baltic states making trips around Europe, but maybe I am not using the correct search terms.

В трех ваших примерах характер "кругов" разный. Переводить тоже нужно будет по-разному в каждом случае. Нужен именно ваш контекст.

@DT SM Hope you don't mind me answering in English, it takes me too long to look up Cyrillic letters... Some typical example sentences would be:
Предлагаем работу водителю категории CE на полуприцеп-тент (шторка).
Работа на маршрутах: Латвия - Европа – Латвия (круги до 30 дней)

В фирму для перевозки собственных грузов требуется водитель категории CE с опытом работы на автомашину Scania R420. На круги, маршрут Рига - Таллинн - Хельсинки – Нарвик - Рига. Рейс занимает неделю +/-7дней. В месяц около 2-3 рейсов.

Ищем водителя категории CE на постоянную работу на круги по маршруту Дания - Швеция - Норвегия. Каденция 6 недель, 2 дома.

@Valerijs Svincovs А еще контекст есть? "Работа на кругах" может, как ни странно, означать разные вещи для разных категорий водителей. Важно понимать, кто с кем разговаривает.

What is OTR trucking?

OTR stands for over the road, referring to truck drivers hauling freight over long distances, spending 3-4 weeks at a time on the road. OTR drivers drive all across the United States and Canada. OTR truck drivers haul all types of items including heavy freight, machinery, construction materials, and other equipment.

What is regional trucking?
Regional trucking refers to the part of the country a driver moves goods and materials. Typically, it’s broken up into divisions like Northeast, and Midwest and usually within a 1,000 mile radius. With OTR and regional trucking, the format is mostly the same – you are out driving for a set amount of time, then, depending on your company’s policy, home for certain number of days. Regional trucking days usually coincide with weekends which is a main appeal for this type of route over OTR.

What is local trucking?
Local trucking allows the driver to be home every night, which can be a real benefit to those with a family. The routes are local, typically within a 200 mile radius and consist of an 8-10 hour work day. Local trucking can be more difficult than OTR or regional trucking due to the nature of the job. With local trucking, you’ll need to be able to navigate smaller roads on a regular basis rather than the highway, as well as, backing into tight loading docks multiple times a day, which is why many local truck driving companies require at least a year of CDL driving experience.

What is a Dedicated Route?
A dedicated route is when a trucking company services the same company or location regularly. More often than not a truck driver will pick up a load at a regular location and then deliver it to a dedicated customer.
