Cross-country freight hauling
Over-the-road describes long-haul trucking that covers great distances between cities or states, as opposed to local delivery routes: He's been an over-the-road driver for fifteen years.
The term distinguishes interstate transport from shorter regional or urban hauling, typically involving days away from home and sleeping in the truck cab.
