First let me say, I have wanted to drive a truck my whole life. My dad drove trucks so I can never remember not being around them. He hauled cattle OTR and was gone for 3-5 weeks at a time when I was real young. He later starting hauling grain locally and was rarely ever gone overnight.
My brothers pretty much tood over the business and have several trucks of their own. Long story short, my parents divorced when I was 9 and we moved 500 miles away. So I kind of lost touch with my brothers and dad over the years. My dad recently passed away. Now I am really wanting to start driving. I guess it's in my blood since trucking runs in the family. 8)
Any way, my one question is could a few of you OTR guys and gals desribe a typical day OTR? I realize there is no "typical" day in any line of work, but maybe you could desribe what a day might be like from the time you wake up until you go to bed that night.
I have only recently joined this forum, but I have been reading it for quite a while and have learned a lot.
