Learn more about over-the-road (otr) trucking →A typical day as an OTR flatbed driver starts with inspecting your truck and checking your load securement — chains, straps, and tarps all need to be in place before you roll. You may deliver steel coils to a fabrication shop in the morning, then deadhead to a lumber yard for your next pickup. Tarping and strapping loads is physically demanding work, but flatbed drivers take pride in the skill it requires. After a full driving shift you log your hours and find a safe place to park for the night.
Flatbed trailers have an open deck with no sides or roof, making them ideal for oversized cargo like lumber, steel, machinery, and building materials. Flatbed drivers must know how to tarp and secure loads using chains, straps, and binders, which is a specialized skill set that commands premium pay. The work is more physically demanding but highly rewarding for drivers who prefer hands-on tasks.
