OTR Drivers typically work for trucking or logistics companies to haul loads for the company’s customers. The main job duty is moving freight from one location to another safely and on time. Unlike local or regional trucking jobs, OTR positions require candidates to haul loads throughout the country. Those long trips often require the Truck Driver to be away from home for days or weeks at a time.
