What does it mean to be OTR

Over The Road just means you go everywhere. When I was with Schneider, they paid more for loads under 300 miles. And yeah, if you don't have a home time request in, they're just going to keep you doing whatever is available until they find a load paying good enough to justify sending you a long way, especially if you're in a place everyone else hates being in.

Whenever they sent me to Jersey or the northeast I would put in a home time request before I even started driving. Otherwise, I'd be there for weeks.

 

Should probably put it in the Qualcomm tonight if you're still there. Over time you'll learn where you don't want to be and plan accordingly. Don't be afraid to call up your DBL and tell them you need miles.

 

A lot of the megas ship their long distance and non time sensitive stuff by rail. That's eliminated a lot of coast to coast work.

 

If you don’t have a year in, finish your year or your contract agreement if you have one, THEN sign up for some gig paying you for what you know as well as what you do.

Look around, hand...you’re surrounded by green grass.

 

companies like to bounce in bad áreas till the can find something decent to get out and if you dont complain why should they do it any different

 

He went to Schneider. Haaaaahaaaaaaa.
