OTR, Regional or Local: Which Trucking Lane Is Yours?

OTR, Regional, or Local, it's the question every new CDL holder asks, and almost nobody answers straight, until now. In Episode 13 of the Cypress Truck Lines Podcast, we brought in three Cypress drivers who live in each lane every single day to break it down for you the right way. Kevin Barritt runs OTR. Brad Hollinger runs Local. John Weideman runs Regional. Together, they walk you through schedules, home time, earning potential, the biggest challenges in each lane, and most importantly, what drove each of them to choose the path they're on. This is the episode that drivers finishing up at Cypress Trucking College need before orientation even starts, and it's essential listening for anyone who's CDL-curious and trying to figure out where flatbed trucking fits into their life. The first 90 days behind the wheel look very different depending on which lane you choose, knowing that going in changes everything. Whether you're eyeing the open road or trying to be home every night, this conversation gives you the insider information to make the right call for you. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
