Over The Road
"Over The Road" refers to a type of trucking operation where drivers transport goods across long distances, typically between states or regions. This method is essential for the supply chain, ensuring that products reach retailers and consumers efficiently. Drivers often spend extended periods on the road, managing logistics and adhering to regulations.
The term is commonly associated with trucking companies and long-haul drivers, who navigate various terrains and weather conditions. These drivers use large vehicles, often referred to as 18-wheelers or semi-trucks, to carry freight. The industry plays a crucial role in the economy by facilitating trade and commerce.
