When I made the OP, I thought OTR and linehaul are the same thing.
In the OP, I was asking about the typical LTL linehaul work that most of you in this part of the forums are accustomed to.
What are the disadvantages of being an OTR LTL driver?

I have never worked as an LTL linehaul driver. So what might seem very obvious to you is not so obvious to me.
I'm not here for drama. -

Instead ask "Based on your response, I don't think I'm using the terms correctly. When I am talking about OTR LTL I am referring to the guys who ________ (fill in the blank with whatever you were thinking about)?"
The reason why "maybe three posts on this 57 post thread" answered the OP's question, is that the OP question was poorly worded. You thanked my post where I discussed how you and Banker were talking around each other, but didn't take the post to heart. Banker did answer your question, as asked. However the question Banker answered wasn't the question you intended to ask.
Instead of getting snarky about responses that don't immediately satiate your query, break down their answer and try to understand what they said. Then ask followup questions that ask for clarity - particularity on nouns/word use you are unfamiliar with.
Saying "I don't understand" isn't a sign of weakness or ignorance. Saying "what might seem very obvious to you is not so obvious to me" is a sign of a Goldilocks attitude - you want what you want but only if it's just right.TexasKGB, LtlAnonymous, Gearjammin' Penguin and 3 others Thank this. -
thought you were gentle @gentleroger.....
