Long Haul Truck Driver or OTR Jobs
A Long Haul Truck Driver, also known as Over-the-Road (OTR) driver, plays a critical role in the transportation industry by delivering goods over long distances across the country. Their duties encompass driving for extended hours, following all traffic laws, maintaining logs of their activities, and ensuring the safe and timely delivery of goods. They are also responsible for inspecting their vehicles before and after the trip, and arranging for the repair and routine maintenance of their trucks. Because of the nature of their job, an OTR driver needs to possess stamina, good physical health, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently.
Before becoming a Long Haul Truck Driver, a person may have held roles such as a Delivery Driver, a Warehouse Associate, or a commercial vehicle driver. These jobs provide valuable experience in handling goods, understanding delivery processes, and operating commercial vehicles. To qualify for an OTR position, an individual must possess a high school diploma and a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Some companies might prefer candidates with a professional truck driving school certification. Also, due to the long hours spent on the road, candidates must have a clean driving record and should pass physical fitness and drug tests.
