As an over the road (OTR) cargo van driver, you drive a vehicle over long distances to transport goods or packages. You ensure the safety of your shipments, track the delivery of parcels along your routes, and keep customers updated as your vehicle reaches checkpoints. OTR delivery gets its name from the long-term nature of most deliveries, which can entail being away from home for weeks at a time. Some OTR cargo van drivers transport goods internationally, while others operate domestic routes, crisscrossing the country. Given the distances involved, OTR cargo van drivers often work in pairs or small teams to keep the cargo van as active as possible.
