The federal government regulates how many hours you may drive per day and week, but the amount of time you spend on the road is up to you and your company. A typical OTR driver might spend three weeks out on the road at a time, or more if he wants to. You could drive by yourself or as part of a team. In a team, one driver sleeps while the other is behind the wheel. In this arrangement, freight moves faster because there is always one rested driver.

It's the first time the U.S. Postal Service has increased stamp prices since January 2014 when the cost of a stamp rose from 46 cents to 49 cents. Then, in April 2016, the cost of a stamp dropped - the first such reduction in almost a century - from 49 cents to 47 cents. Now the cost is back up.
