Do you like driving otr?

I would not be doing it if I didn't like it.

I am still a new driver, less than 6 months. But so far the lifestyle agrees with me.

I love to drive the open highway, see new places, the control over my own destiny.

I don't like being stuck at a terminal waiting for repairs, but that is also part of the job.
As is putting up with rudeness on the road (both by 4-wheelers and 18's) and with shippers/receivers, and maybe DM's (not mine, though).
But I am the mellow sort, and can go with the flow.

This job and I were made for each other.

Of course, I've thought that about every wife I have had as well.

And this job is truly like being married.
Maybe I won't screw this one up.
We'll see...

 

Yep so far I do...

So much of the complaining you hear can be avoided with some common sense, courtesy and a strong dose of civility.

Don't get ms wrong, I do get angry; however, I try to keep it in the truck and off the CB.

 

Yes, I don't like waking up in the same place as yesterday. It bores me.

 

I love driving OTR......being in a different place everyday, new challenges to overcome......gives me a sense of accomplishment.

 

yes I do. Even after 30 years I love it !

 

I loved being a sitework driver. Being an OTR driver, not so much. I don't enjoy life on the road, I'm not as keen on being away from home as I used to be, I'm tired of dealing with "adults" who act like a bunch of overgrown children.. sorry, but by your 30s, 40, 50s, etc., you should have learned how to shake off adolescence already.. I love driving, and there's even a thing or two I like about OTR, but, overall, I'd have to say no.
