Did 2 years of LTL just hurt my ability to go back OTR?

    Contact A&R Logistics. Don't need tanker/hazmat endorsement even though they pull dry bulk tankers because thay haul plastic pellets.
    Make $62k - $72K per year and home weekends if you want.

    No. I realized not long after I started that I could only take so much of this LTL stuff.

    I agree with you. Any driver that wants LTL or linehaul is welcome to it. It's not for everyone.

    Then it is good for you to get out now. No point in waiting until you get hurt to decide to switch!

    That's what makes this industry interesting. There's something for everybody. It's one reason that I have little to zero sympathy about drivers that do nothing but whine and snivel about their job. If you hate your job, then try another branch of transportation!

    That's right. What I don't like is some drivers complaining that anyone that does OTR is crazy or some other remark. Some think local jobs, LTL, etc. are coveted and everyone in the universe wants that. Those jobs aren't coveted by some/many of us. I'll take the coast-to-coast running any time. Assign me to LTL or local and I'll resign and find another company.
