Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
I met a couple from Finland a couple of years ago that started in Anchorage, AK and were going to New Mexico on a bicycle for two. They had already been on the road for 3 months just to get to Montana.

If anyone cares, I'm currently thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. After trucking OTR for a year with Prime Inc I'm so happy to be back doing what I love the most. I did the Appalachian Trail in 2014 and will eventually complete a Triple Crown. If you're curious about what it's like to hike all day everyday from Mexico to Canada, please check out my trail journal!

Also feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I just won't be able to check this forum much. Direct messaging me will guarantee I will read your message... eventually. Sometimes Im off the grid for many days at a time.
Keep on trucking!
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.
