    Blackie has not passed LANDSTAR inspection.

    This sounds a bit hauntingly familiar, but needs wheel seal.

    Also need torque bar bushing. And brake pads on drive axles.

    The OM is not pleased about the impending air tool lalapalooza.

    So I'm just curious, are y'all...

    1) OTR, typicaly on the road sleeping in the truck more than 4 consecutive nights.

    2) Regional, typically on the road sleeping in the truck 4 or less consecutive nights.

    3)Local, typically home every or every other night.

    4)Regional/Local, some combination of #2 and #3.

    5)CDL student

    6) Retired CDL driver

    7) None of the above


    I think most of us are OTR or Regional from what I've gathered by reading WIIS posts over the last 4 years. But was just curious. As most of you know I was OTR for nearly 4 years, then earlier this year I transitioned to a mostly Local with a smattering of Regional runs.

    Quote this post with your answer.

    Well we already knew that the OM is the OTR Trucker. Does she get extra "Training Pay?"

    The other day I was telling someone The OM has more time trucking than probably 50% of the drivers out here.

    Your post is also relevant because the only way to really qualify for The Medal of Savage is by being OTR.
