    Stay out to maybe at least six months and move up in the business. What's going on?

    Not much. Im just not really getting paid enough to justify being OTR over local

    Dallas is huge i'm sure there's something out there but you'll probably get paid whatever their new drivers start out at.Doesnt swift have any local jobs available in Dallas?

    JB Hunt has regional Intermodal out of Haslett Rail Yard.

    A very good friend is there, now he is an O/O so maybe a different schedule, I don't know, but he heads out on Tuesday Morning, gets Home Sat afternoon and has Sinewy and Monday off.

    He lives in Troy, down near Temple. Only does Texas, Oklahoma, Armadas and Louisiana.

    Try Watkins Shepard. There is a new teminal in Dallas. It is driver tailgate furniture but it's not hard at all and we get paid well. Plus they get you back to the terminal to get another load, so we get home a lot. You may not be local but regional is home every weekend. I'm short line and I'm home 4-5 nights a week. Gross 1200-1600 a week.

    Also that terminal in Dallas was put there for all the local delivery in that area. So could be a very good possibility you could be local. Plus with 3 months you can go right to work. No time with a trainer.
