No Promotions or Selling Allowed...
This will not become a spam dumpster. If you have something to promote you first must achieve a certain tier. (Yet to be determined) And at that point you will have to submitted a request and we will actually interview you on what you have to offer. The exception is trucking gear and equipment. There is a place that you can post trucking gear and equipment. (If you joined to pitch, sale, abuse the community, you might as well turn around now.) The workaround and shortcut to that, is to become a Founding Member. More on that Later. Meanwhile welcome and enjoy! Hervy

Welcome to Off Duty Truckers
Start Here – Welcome to Off Duty Truckers Welcome. You’re here because you’re thinking beyond just driving more miles. Off Duty Truckers is a space for drivers who want real options — not hype, not pressure, and not “get rich quick” nonsense. What we focus on here: - Off-duty income ideas (while you’re still driving) - Long-term thinking - Honest conversations about money, time, relationships and lifestyle - Practical paths out of trucking — when and if that makes sense for you This is not a hype group. No gurus. No pressure. No selling in the main feed. I’ve been in trucking for 20+ years. I’ve left, come back, invested, experimented, and learned the hard way. This community exists so drivers can think ahead without being judged for it. How to get the most out of this group Start by introducing yourself below 👇 You don’t need a life story. Just share: - How long you’ve been trucking - What you’re running (company / O/O / lease) - What you’re curious about outside of driving If you want, post a pic of your truck — inside, outside, or both. Optional question: 👉 If there were a yearly Off Duty Truckers meetup, how would you feel about Puerto Plata, DR? After that: 1. Ask real questions 2. Read the pinned “Guidelines” post 3. Share what you’re learning along the way I go live for Q&A and discussion periodically. Show up if you can. Catch the replay if you can’t. Think long-term. Stay grounded. Make an effort. Glad you’re here. — Hervy

When Does a Broker's Layover Policy Become a Dealbreaker?
Here's a question for the owner-operators: A broker tells you, “Don't worry, we'll take care of the layover.” The truck sits for hours. Then comes the paperwork. Then the emails. Then the phone calls. And eventually you find yourself wondering whether getting paid for the delay became another unpaid job. 😅 So here's the question: How much does a broker's handling of layover or detention affect whether you continue working with them? Would you keep using a broker who eventually pays but makes you chase every dollar? Or does repeated accessorial drama make you move on—even if their loads usually pay well? I'm curious whether drivers actually track this stuff or mostly rely on memory. What would make you drop a broker? - Repeated denied claims? - Slow payments? - Verbal promises that aren't documented? - Too much follow-up? - Poor communication? - Or does the line get drawn somewhere else? Let's hear the real-world experiences. Which matters more: the rate on the load or how the broker behaves when something goes wrong?

Wisconsin Trucking: Is the Home Time Worth the Winter?
Wisconsin looks pretty good on paper for truck drivers: Midwest freight, dairy and food shipments, manufacturing, regional opportunities, and access to major corridors. But then winter shows up and reminds everybody who's really in charge. 😂 For drivers who have worked Wisconsin or the upper Midwest, what's the REAL tradeoff? Would you take a Wisconsin regional job with decent home time if it meant dealing with snow, ice, Milwaukee traffic, and occasional Chicago-area headaches? Or would you rather run somewhere with easier weather and accept more miles or more time away from home? What matters most to you: - Home time - Pay - Winter driving - Regional vs. OTR - Traffic - Consistent freight - Predictable schedules What's your experience been? Is Wisconsin a good trucking state—or does winter change the equation?
