enjoy the driving/traveling ?
I am taking CDL class right now trying to get a job after I get license. I dont know how it feels like doing OTR 10 hrs a day for 5-6 days straight. My friend say the good thing is , it is like I get travel to other places for free. Some say if I am driving 11 hrs a day, I dont have much free time on the road to do things.
One OTR driver say they passby a BestBuy and go in for shopping for a GPS. For those of you doing OTR, do you get enough time to do things like stop and take scenic pictures or go shopping ? |
goodluck

Trucking ain't about shopping and sight seeing. Most of the sights you will see are going to be through a windshield at 60 mph. The shopping you will be doing will be at a truckstop. Never mistake the travel in trucking as a vacation. I'm sure there are many here who will tell u the same. With that being said....there are a few times when you will have opportunities to see a few things on an occasional extended layover. Trucks make money moving down the road not at the local galleria or beachside motel.

If I have time between loads, and I'm close to a sight thats interesting i'll be a tourist. It's easier for me since i'm a O/O.

absolutelly agree about the fact that driving a truck is not travelling
travaling/vacation is the antonym I would even say)) |
