Over-the-Road (OTR)

Over-the-Road (OTR) refers to the long-haul trucking industry where drivers operate large trucks to transport goods across regions, states, or entire countries. OTR drivers typically spend extended periods on the road, often staying away from home for days or weeks, delivering freight between manufacturers, warehouses, and distribution centers. This sector is vital for supply chains, ensuring products move efficiently over long distances. OTR trucking requires specialized vehicles, adherence to safety regulations, and careful planning to meet delivery deadlines while managing driver well-being.
