OTR trucking involves long-haul routes that cross multiple states, often keeping drivers on the road for two to three weeks at a time before returning home. These positions are ideal for drivers who enjoy travel and independence, and they typically offer the highest pay in the industry. OTR drivers are the backbone of America's freight system, moving goods coast to coast on tight schedules.
A typical day as an OTR dry van driver starts early with a thorough pre-trip inspection of your tractor and enclosed trailer. You hit the interstate and cover 450 to 550 miles, stopping for fuel, meals, and mandated 30-minute breaks. Much of your day is spent on the open highway, managing your Hours of Service log and communicating with dispatch about your next load. At the end of your shift you park at a truck stop or rest area, settle into the sleeper berth, and prepare for another day on the road.

About Dry Van Trucks
Dry van trailers are fully enclosed, non-temperature-controlled boxes used to haul general freight such as consumer goods, electronics, and packaged food. They are the most common trailer type on American highways and offer the widest variety of available loads. Dry van driving is often recommended for newer CDL holders because loading and unloading is typically handled by warehouse staff.
