The trucking industry's compensation and career progression models are flawed, leading to OTR (Over-The-Road) drivers being paid less per mile and working longer hours away from home compared to local truckers, despite local positions requiring more experience.
The current compensation structure and experience requirements in the trucking industry do not fairly reward long-haul OTR drivers compared to local drivers, creating disincentives for OTR work and an illogical career path.
