OTR truck driving jobs
What is Over-the-Road (OTR) truck driving?
Over-the-Road truck drivers, also called long-haul truckers, specialize in hauling freight long distances, as opposed to regional or local routes. You’ll typically be on the road a couple weeks at a time, though you have many options! You’ll drive a “sleeper cab” tractor with a comfortable bed in back so you can sleep at a full-service Schneider facility or truck stop. Join thousands of drivers loving the OTR lifestyle.
Solo
Freedom to the fullest
Solo OTR driving jobs are where it’s at if you want total independence. Get away, explore the country and maximize your mileage and paycheck potential. Consider this the best of old-school, long-haul trucking, combined with best of new-school technology and driver amenities.
With Schneider’s extensive freight network, you’ll always have loads to move, and with our nationwide facility network, you’ll always have a home away from home.
Team
The best companionship and compensation
All Team driving jobs are OTR jobs (but not all OTR jobs are Team) because Teams are designed to keep the truck moving over a long haul. It’s not uncommon for one Team load to cover well over 1,000 miles by alternating Team partners.
Teams deliver premium freight — 98 percent of which is no-touch — earning the most money (up to $98,000) and driving the newest trucks. Plus, Team partners enjoy each other’s company, a nice touch within the OTR lifestyle away from home.
