As an OTR dry-van driver for U.S. Xpress, a typical day centers on safe long-haul operation: pre-trip checks of mechanical, safety, and emergency gear; securing cargo and paperwork; raising or lowering trailer landing gear; driving assigned lanes; and keeping hours-of-service and vehicle logs. At stops you obtain receipts or signatures for deliveries, then continue the next leg under company dispatch.
