Apply for this job
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 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.

About Flatbed Trucks
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.
