OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Especially now that I have a trainee. Literally no time lol
I've paid off my car and gone from $35,000 in credit card debt to about $6000 plus put about $9000 in 401k. Not bad!!!

TT On Facebook
We go across country but teams have more of a chance in the west and canada. I'll be hitting 2 years at prime next month and have been to all but SD. During the winter I run west more. We have a bunch of regional and dedicated but honestly I'd stay OTR for the first year to learn the handling and time management.
Its a mix of live loads and drop and hooks. Learn toanage your clock and sleep at the customers and it won't affect your miles. We have no touch freight...except floral loads. Teams usually do them but I never did one.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

Drop And Hook:
Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.
In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.
