Worth knowing: I-84 east-west corridor is the country's primary Pacific NW to Mountain West freight corridor and a feature most national truck-driver surveys understate for OR. I-84 (Portland to Pendleton to Boise to Salt Lake City to Echo UT → connecting to I-80 transcontinental east, 770 miles total OR-WA-ID-UT-WY) is the dominant freight route connecting the Pacific Northwest (Port of Portland + Port of Vancouver WA + Port of Tacoma + Port of Seattle) with the Mountain West + East — substantial daily truck volume on I-84 supports senior OR-based OTR drivers. The Port of Portland (the country's largest combined-port grain + auto + container facility in the Pacific NW outside of Tacoma/Seattle, ~$25B+ annual cargo volume across Terminal 6 container + Terminal 4 auto import + grain elevators) supports substantial intermodal driver work. Daimler Trucks North America Portland (the country's #1 commercial truck OEM through Freightliner + Western Star + Detroit Diesel + Thomas Built Buses) supports substantial fleet driver test + commercial driving operations. The 2025 No Tax on Overtime federal deduction applies to non-exempt OR truck driver OT for tax years 2025-2028 — cap $12,500 single / $25,000 above-the-line. For a senior OTR driver at $90K base + $25K OT premium ($115K total), OBBBA produces ~$5,500 federal + ~$1,985 OR savings (at OR's progressive brackets for moderate-income drivers) = ~$7,485 through 2028. OR's 9.9% top bracket catches mainly senior owner-operator + specialty driver comp.
