Truckload

What is a truckload driving job?

Truckload, or over the road (OTR) trucking, is the traditional long-haul transportation of 53’ trailers across the country. When people outside of the industry think of a truck driver, they often imagine a driver spending weeks away from home.

However, that’s not the case. Gone are the month-long trips and payphone calls home. OTR drivers are usually out two weeks at a time and because of technology, can stay connected with friends and family.
