Class A Driving Types

Over the Road (OTR)
Over the road driving positions, commonly known as OTR, provide the most opportunity to get into a great driving job. You'll be able to make great money and take advantage of unmatched benefits as you drive for one of the Nations top trucking companies.

Regional
A regional route is a run that keeps you in an area close to your point of origin. It may cover a few states and will generally provide more home time. Regional routes are more difficult to obtain due to the high demand and limited availability

Dedicated
A dedicated run generally serves a specific client base that requires regular runs to and from specific locations. These runs allow drivers to perform the same driving run week in and week out. Although they do not provide the diversity and flexibility as an over the road run, but they do make it so drivers know exactly what to expect, where they are going, and when they will return. Dedicated runs consist of daily runs that get drivers home nightly or longer runs that get drivers home weekly.

Local
A local route is usually completed in the same state as your point of origin and you are rarely gone at night. These provide the most home-time and are often the most desired routes, but they are the hardest to get because they are very limited. Local routes are not impossible to get, you just have to spend a few years in the industry first and build your driving experience.
