I have created a few threads and read over other threads on the LTL subforum, and everyone only says good things about being an OTR LTL driver, and nobody says any negative things about being an OTR LTL driver as opposed to an OTR non-LTL driver. If LTL was so great, I would think that everyone would want to drive LTL, and the demand for LTL drivers would decrease, along with the pay of LTL drivers decreasing.
So what are the disadvantages of being an OTR LTL driver as opposed to being an OTR non-LTL driver?

Nights and weekends are probably the biggest downsides at first to LTL road jobs. Some LTL’s mostly run the road weeknights but many are 24/7. Some people are happy with what they have and never strive for anything else and that doesn’t make them any less of a driver. I personally don’t know why anyone would live in a truck, be gone for weeks at a time with one day off for every six worked when you could be home most days/nights, sleep in your bed or a hotel and generally make more money. However it is a big world and not everyone has the same interests and needs in life. Some people see a daycab as a bad thing. I built a daycab a few years ago and I could have ordered a sleeper if I wanted one.

1. psychological projection.
2. and ad hominem argument. attacking the person instead of their argument. not a good way to win argument btw. usually people who lose arguments resort to it to try to cheese their way to sounding more viable.Last edited: Dec 25, 2020
