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 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.

Pros & Cons of Over-the-Road (OTR) Driving

Pros

  • + Highest earning potential among driving positions
  • + See the country and enjoy the freedom of the open road
  • + Opportunities available even for newer CDL holders
  • + Carriers often provide sign-on bonuses and full benefits
  • + Consistent freight volume means strong job security

Cons

  • Weeks away from home and family at a time
  • Irregular sleep schedules and limited exercise options
  • Truck stop meals can make healthy eating challenging
  • Wear and tear from long hours in the driver seat
  • Limited personal space living in a sleeper cab

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.
