Terms of use.

Effective August 8, 2026

These terms govern your use of this website. Section 12 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class-action waiver that affect how disputes get resolved, you can opt out of it within 30 days, and we tell you exactly how.

01

Accepting these terms

This site is operated by OTR Group(“OTR Group,” “we,” “us”), a Driver Advisory company. By submitting a form on this site you accept these terms. You must be at least 18. The site is intended for use in the United States.

02

What we are, and what we aren't

We are not a trucking company

OTR Group does not own trucks, haul freight, hold operating authority, or employ drivers. We are an advisory company. We help CDL-A drivers evaluate opportunities at a small group of partner carriers, and we help them understand an offer before they accept it.

  • We do not hire you. Any job you take is with a partner carrier. Your pay, your equipment, your miles, your home time, your benefits and your employment terms are set by that carrier in the agreement you sign with them, not by us and not by this site.
  • We are not a party to your employment. We cannot hire you, fire you, promise you a job, change your pay, or resolve a dispute between you and a carrier. We will help you understand and raise an issue, but we have no authority over it.
  • Submitting a form here is an inquiry to us, not a job application. It creates no employment relationship with us or with any carrier.
  • We give you information and our honest read. We do not give legal, tax, financial, or immigration advice, for those, talk to a professional who does.
03

Pay, miles, and home time

Read this one

Any pay rate, mileage, bonus, or home-time figure on this site or in anything we send you is an estimate, based on what the carrier has told us and on typical results for the route and equipment described. It is not a guarantee, not an offer, and not a promise of any particular earnings. What you actually earn depends on freight availability, your experience, hours, equipment, lanes, and how you run, and it is set by the agreement you sign with the carrier, not by us.

We put the details of an offer in writing for you because that protects you. Writing it down does not make us the one promising it, the carrier is. If what you were told and what you signed don't match, tell us and we will help you sort it out with them.

04

What you send us

  • You agree the information you submit is accurate and about you (except a referral, covered next).
  • If you submit someone else's name, phone number, or email, for example through the referral program, you represent that you personally know them and have their permission to give it to us. If that turns out not to be true, you agree to cover us for claims arising from your submission, as described in section 11.
  • Do not send us Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or medical information through this website. We do not ask for them here and we do not want them here.
05

Acceptable use

Don't scrape the site, submit automated or fraudulent inquiries, impersonate anyone, interfere with the site's operation, or use it to send anything unlawful. We may refuse service, remove submissions, and block access at our discretion.

06

Electronic communications and signatures

You agree we may communicate with you electronically, and that your electronic submissions, checkboxes, and clicks count as signatures under the federal E-SIGN Act and comparable state law. If you consented to calls and texts, our SMS Terms are part of these terms.

07

Our content

The OTR Group name, logo, copy, photography, and design on this site belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, frame, or reuse them commercially without written permission. You may of course share links.

08

Links to other sites

We link to third-party sites and tools, applicant systems, load boards, job boards. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Their terms apply when you're on them.

09

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION ON IT IS COMPLETE OR CURRENT.

10

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OTR GROUP WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THIS SITE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some states do not allow these limits. Where that is the case, they do not apply to you, and nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud, personal injury, or gross negligence.

11

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OTR Group and its officers, employees, and agents from claims, damages, penalties, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of (a) information you submit about another person without their permission, including referral submissions, (b) your breach of these terms, or (c) your misuse of the site.

12

Disputes, arbitration, and class-action waiver

This affects your legal rights

This section requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, and waives class actions. You can opt out within 30 days without any effect on your relationship with us.

  • Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration, send a written description of the dispute and what you want, using the contact details at the end of these terms. We each have 30 days to try to resolve it informally.
  • Individual arbitration. If that fails, disputes relating to this site will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, including its supplementary rules for multiple case filings. Arbitration takes place in your home county or by video, at your choice.
  • Class-action waiver. Disputes are brought individually. Neither of us may bring a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and the arbitrator may not preside over one. Both of us waive a jury trial.
  • Small claims. Either of us may bring a qualifying dispute in small-claims court instead.
  • 30-day opt-out. You may reject this arbitration section entirely by emailing us within 30 days of your first submission with your name and the words “arbitration opt-out.” Opting out costs you nothing and changes nothing else.
  • Severability. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies to every other claim.

This section does not apply to employment claims by our drivers or employees, which are governed by the agreements signed at hire.

13

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, except where the law gives you the right to sue where you live.

14

Changes

We may update these terms. Changes apply going forward, not retroactively, and we will update the effective date at the top. The terms that bind you are the ones displayed when you submitted your form, we keep a record of that version.
