Forever Overdue Update!
Topic 18388 | Page 2
Congrats on your first year Miss Miyoshi! I was north east regional for Schneider and now I'm with NFI out of pittston. I run local dedicated and home every day. OTR wasn't for me, so much happier now. Glad to hear that they put you in a position that makes you happier.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Thanks to Miss Miyoshi, Errol. V and all the helpful people here. This Forum helps me understand what i need to do to be successful.

Thanks for the encouraging stories!
I've had my share of failures and set backs lately, including today. So I went hiking this afternoon even though it was real windy here in San Diego. I stood at the top of a hill looking down on a nursery. Most of the young potted palm trees in the nursery had blown over.
The thought occurred to me how strong the wind was in my face, but I was still standing.
