What is an in-and-around driver?

Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars

An in-and-around driver is a Teamster-classified driver who operates vehicles within a production's base camp and on-set staging areas moving cars, equipment trucks, and personal vehicles around the immediate production zone rather than on public roads over long distances.

In-and-around drivers handle the short-range repositioning of picture cars from the staging lot to set, between shooting positions, and back to the lot at the end of the day. Their work is covered under the same union agreements as road drivers but limited to a defined radius around the base camp.
