    Now there is indeed a shortage of drivers with more than half a brain.
    Also a shortage of companies that pay half decent.

    I don't disagree.

    Still though, for some people the appeal is there. If that's what they want to do, I say let them have at it. Someone has to do the job. I'm just glad that someone isn't me. :)

    Lets see.. someone who hates their wife would want to go OTR lol.
    Someone without a home or perhaps wanting to save money does OTR without a home to save costs.

    I do agree that OTR company drivers get paid trash.
    LTL local or LTL linehaul drivers get paid more than OTR drivers, that never made sense to me.
