What is Over-the-Road (OTR)?

Over-the-Road (OTR) refers to a type of long-haul transportation where trucks travel over extended distances to transport freight between different cities, states, or regions. OTR operations typically involve the movement of goods on highways and interstates, covering considerable distances and often spanning multiple days or weeks for delivery. 

For routine inventory restocking or manufactured product delivery, companies that need OTR services can look into logistics providers that work with dedicated lanes designed to maintain a routine, repeatable delivery schedule along a specific route.
