Damn, you can smell them long before they get to that point. Probably going to need new wheel seals and possibly studs too.

My run confines me to the relatively flat mid-west...although I did run Donner's Pass while OTR. There was snow on the ground in summer...I'd hate to run that route in winter!
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.

I've unfortunately never had the privilege of running Donner's pass and probably never will now that I'm on a regional gig. That's crazy though. Which terminal are you out of?
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
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.

That looks like a good opportunity for hot dogs and marshmallows!

I'm (technically) Columbus OH now...but have had DM's in Menasha, WI. Gary, IN. Rochelle, IL. Memphis, TN & SLC, UT.
They used to pass me around like a bottle of cheap booze. 😂
I still routinely work with Memphis, TN & New Boston, MI. (my shuttle affiliates).

As a student driver, I'm glad you posted this picture. Just how easy is it too do this?
