I know 2 gentleman who work HHG one of which now works for my company since being hurt. According to him what us OTR drivers make hauling freight cant touch what he made moving. Seems like you guys get paid the best but the work is WAYYYYY harder. Dont know how ya do it!
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.

I appreciate the response. I'm beginning to wonder if peace of mind and saving my body from being worn out are worth a pay cut.

You're looking at most OTR jobs topping out around $50k-$55k once you've had a few years over the road experience. There are some better paying jobs like union jobs and certain types of specialty hauling. But for the most part that's the OTR salary you're going to top out at.

I currently drive (and more) for Atlas Van Lines and was wondering if the grass is greener.. The pay in the household goods is decent enough, and I guess what I'm getting at, is the pay comparable for a company drive hauling freight by the mile to what a van operator hauling HHG's makes being paid line haul ?
Line Haul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.
