Does Doing Yard Jockey Affect Your Trucking Experience?
Topic 21712 | Page 1
It can. If you're wanting to get back on the road eventually, I'd recommend finding a yard hostler position where you still do local deliveries on occasion (at least once a month). That way if you end up applying for driving jobs down the road, you'll still have fresh driving experience since hostling doesn't count as driving.

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.
