About Over-the-Road (OTR) Trucking

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 Day in the Life

A typical day as an OTR reefer driver begins with a pre-trip inspection that includes verifying your refrigeration unit is holding the correct temperature. You check the set point against the bill of lading, top off the reefer fuel, and head out. Throughout the day you monitor the temperature readout to protect your perishable load, whether it is fresh produce bound for grocery distribution centers or frozen seafood heading to restaurants. Careful time management is key because reefer loads often have strict delivery windows.

About Refrigerated (Reefer) Trucks

Reefer trailers are temperature-controlled units used to transport perishable goods including produce, dairy, meat, and pharmaceuticals. Drivers must monitor and maintain precise temperatures throughout the trip, adding an extra layer of responsibility. Reefer loads tend to pay more than dry van freight and are available year-round thanks to the constant demand for fresh food.
