So why would someone consider this career field? -Because it is still one of the best jobs out there. OTR job is not easy but for truck drivers with a few miles under their belt, there is plenty of money to be made.
This is one of the few career fields that you are truly free. Of course you have a boss and customers to answer to, but you can set your itinerary, stop when you want, turn on your favorite truck radio and play your music (as loud as you want), and the truckers fashion and dress code is usually more relaxed and comfortable.
