    It’s possible depending on the terminal and what’s open.

    I started running wild got a bid within a month

    It varies tbh. Some teams have gotten bids runs as soon as they sign on. This will mostly happen at big terminals. But the small one I work at doesn't have many bids for teams. And the ones they do have are already taken, so you'd have to wait for one of the current teams to leave or give up the run..

    I do not work at R&L anymore.

    but I had a Nashville to LA to Arlington Washington to Atlanta to New Orleans back to Nashville. Same every week.

    Before I left I was about to get a Nashville to KCK and back. Easy gravy run for $2100 week each.

    from my experiences like r and l carriers gave drivers less respect than some of the other carriers i worked for.

    Is it really OTR or is it just linehaul out and back?
    To me OTR is going to pick up at a shipper and going to deliver at a customer. Then you do it again and again, all over the country and you're never sure what customers they will send you to next.

    Nashville (Antioch). I see they're hiring for a team right now. But they need one year of experience. Doesn't work for my wife. And it needs to be one year of experience in the past three years. Doesn't work for me either then. Oh well.
    What is KCK?

    Just out of curiosity, do they let you apply to jobs at terminals that are far away from your address? Like in different states?

    I'm guessing kck means Kansas city, Kansas but I could be totally wrong.

    Kansas City Kansas.

    Not really. Unless your going to commute to that terminal each week to go to work.

    Call and talk to someone still, my wife had a little under a year of experience under her belt and they still took her. If they need help, they will make arrangements. It depends on how busy a terminal is.
