    Anyone is working as OTR extra board and mind to share your experience? It says night shift. Do you only drive night shift linehaul terminal to terminal? Do you need to load and unload? what time do you start driving and what time do you end your day? Whats is a typical day like? thankyou!

    Depends on the terminal and their needs. Freight moves at all times of the day. Linehaul is terminal to terminal, sometimes a meet with another terminal driver. If your working out of your home terminal, then your probably just filling in for others days off, meaning you could be working various times. Drivers at Estes don't work the docks, that I know of. Typical day like? I just go out and back, meet with another terminal driver Monday - Friday, scheduled run, which depending on the terminal you are looking at, you could quickly find yourself with such a run, on seniority.
    Another option, although becoming less and less, running wild, you just go where Central (corporate National dispatch Estes) needs you, once they get comfortable with you. Stay in hotels on the road. Travel the whole country if willing to stay out. Get in a rhythm, time wise. But this option is dependent on your terminal needs.
