Checking out your options as a truck driver? The word “dedicated” is thrown around a lot in the trucking industry, but it can mean a few different things.

You go together like peanut butter and jelly. Avocado and toast. Ketchup and mustard. You’ve found a partner to drive with, now it’s time to figure out which company can best support you. After all, one of the hardest parts of team driving is finding a partner who you can feel safe with and who you can remain in close quarters with for long periods of time. You’ve done that part already. Now, which company is going to support your team?

As a truck driver, you’ve got tons of options on the road. Will you be an over-the-road (OTR) driver? Will you decide to be a local driver who gets to go home daily? Will you decide to be a regional driver who goes home weekly? Or, will you choose an option that could result in any of the above options?
