Im looking for some information to apply with a local truck driving company such as Walmart, Publix, Ryder. Seems like they require some experience, but I dont have experience with a company but I do have a month experience driving on the road

The only OTR companies I would most likely qualify for is Prime, Roehl, Schneider, Central, KLLM, Knight. But OTR is not something I can really do for long but at times I feel like its the one I want to do. Having a hard time deciding

Central will hire you right now if you have no more than one violation. They have all newer peterbilt trucks.

I went to regional and the only thing i do now is more live unloads, more drop and hooks and more paperwork. ####, im only home on average 25 percent more than when i was OTR. To sum it up, unless you have some considerable obligations near home that require you to be around on the regular, i would stick with OTR. More money, more relaxation and less work. Plus, I live in CA, and who wants to drive around at 55-60mph all day. #### I'd fall asleep.
Good luck.RookieJ1987 Thanks this. -

It's very hard to get a local job with a new license. Beverage companies are pretty accepting of new drivers. I graduated school in January and got on with a Beer Distributor. I got lucky and got into the Bulk/Grocery dept right out of the gate so I'm just hitting docks. But a lot of guys drive side loaders and run around with hand trucks, which I don't think I'd enjoy. But they seem to like it and many of them get back to the plant earlier than me. Either way it's a job and your getting experience. I've only been working since February and have already gotten a bump in pay and now making commission on every package on my truck. Not a terrible deal. I do unload myself buy I've got an electric pallet jack so no biggie.

You haven't done OTR long enough to get burned out.
Powder Joints, jbatmick, rockee and 1 other person Thank this.
