Of the entire fleet, only me and one other guy had OTR experience. I applaud local guys. Over the road for me is to much better. I don't feel as worn out at the end of the day. To me local work is not what it's cracked up to be but it's whatever works best for you individuallyClick to expand...
We have to deal with something the OTR guys don’t which is the commute. For me that is about 35 minutes, THEN 11-12 hours on the clock, THEN the commute home which may or may not include stopping here or there to get this or that.
Then 10 break starts at punching out, not when you walk back through your door.bryan21384 and Fuelinmyveins Thank this. -
