Not discounting the author's experience, but it doesn't mirror my own. It's probably highly, highly dependent upon the company you work for. My father drove OTR for a certain brown courier service, and made about 150k a year. This was about 15 years ago. You did have to be gone for a whole week at a time, so certainly not easy or for everyone, but the pay was quite nice.
- selectodude 5y agoOTR pays way, way more. I'd be all over it in my younger days. Once you have a family, as you said, it can be a bit more difficult. To the author, if you're reading, OTR drivers are in very, very high demand. Get that bread.
