OK & TX Regional Fleet

What is Regional Trucking?

Regional trucking is a type of trucking that involves a driver traveling within a set area of the U.S., versus the whole country with OTR. Depending on your company, this area usually encompasses a mile radius or a few states. Most regional drivers will be home weekly or biweekly, in contrast to OTR drivers who can be out three or more weeks at a time.

Regional spots are VERY limited and not guaranteed! Please contact our Recruiting team to confirm current availability or view our main flatbed page.
