    I'm just wondering if there is a way to make extra money while your OTR. Like is there a side job you can do online or something to make extra income?

    Day trading. A few drivers on this forum have posted they do day trading and make a few bucks. My wife does real well at it. She trades on the Shanghai stock exchange. She had a Scottrade account for awhile but just did mediocre so switched to Shanghai because she understand the language better.
    I don't know if Scottrade is real good or not; maybe some other drivers know of something better.

    you can do anything you want, when OTR. you can go online for college classes, you can do some sort of online trading, maybe even selling things on eBay. you can even sell stolen merchandise from your rig, as maybe some others do.

    you can even rob 7-11's, and banks, but you may wish to consider renting a car, calling Uber, or stealing/hijacking someone's car. your big rig makes for a slow getaway.

    Start a YouTube channel. If you get enough subscribers and "views" you can make extra money!

    Good idea; there's big demand from owner-operators for tires; they even pay to swap them out on your company truck.

    Remember to log your hours at this "other job" then explain to your company why your out of hours.

    Stock up at Costco and resell drinks and food cheaper than the truckstops?
