    Hi Friends,

    I did a search for living the OTR lifestyle and came up empty. There are movies on You tube, but i was referred to here to find some of the best threads for this career.

    Anyone know of or can point me to one?

    ...much appreciated...and thanks in advance!

    I think the first response in that thread is perfect and says it well.

    Agreed. Summed a lot of it up nicely.

    Most OTR drivers are serial killers. Not me, really!

    I don't know what you saw on youtube but you should REALLY watch some of the many great vlogs out there. They will tell you everything you need to know and are great to watch. Just put these into the youtube search and you can find them.

    Trucker Josh - Canadian driver often in the US, awesome daily vlog
    The Jade and Jon show - married couple who are team drivers in the US, daily vlog
    John Vollrath - OTR driver, awesome

    Those are the best 3 vlogs, watch them.

    I like Indiana Jack as well. He uses several cameras on his rig and does some nice road video stuff.
