I drive OTR

Statute height is 13'6". Some states allow 14'. Yes it does pay more than local, but at a price. Home time. Also see alot of guys go broke out here if they don't curb their spending. I got the chrome bug with my first truck. Over 5k in 2 years. And chrome don't pay the bills. I've with stood the fuel prices so far. But I don't spend money out here. In a few weeks I'll be an independant car hauler like Fordnut85. More money with less overhead than a semi. And the best of all, I get to drive my Powerstroke everyday! Being OTR, is for me, one of the best things I ever did. I was a manager in a grocery store before.

'02 Freightliner Century Class ST, 460 Cummins, 10 speed Eaton, 336 rears, with 22.5 rubber makes a 120 mile an hour truck! But I wouldn't do that.
