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.
Comments (7). The United States Postal Service increased its rates for first class postage and related services (like insurance) on Jan. 27, 2013. The price of a first class Forever stamp increased to 46 cents from 45 cents.
Standard mail, such as first-class letters and postcards, make up 76% of the Postal Service's sales -- all of which have prices capped by Congress. Postcard stamp prices will drop by a penny to 34 cents, and international stamps will cost $1.15, down from $1.20. There's hardly anyone alive who remembers the last time the price of a stamp fell. That was in July 1919, when first-class stamp prices dropped from 3 cents to 2 cents.
