Im 22 years old, and do not have my cdl yet. I was just offerd a job from a family friend who own a gas hauling company. The owner told me if i get my cdl w/haz and tank ive got a $20 hour local job. However ive always wanted to go otr. What im asking is, if you had the offer i have, would you take it? I mean its pretty rare that someone gets an opprotunity like this, right?
What do you think?

Thats what alot of driver have been telling me, including my dad(35 year driver) i work as a loader in a rail yard talking about it with the driver i load and they say i would be stupid to pass it up. Plus im getting my cdl on my own(fyi)
-
And it is a legit job. He really needs driver. Great equipment, and pay but crappy benifits.
-
I would take it but on the flip side,if you decide you wanna go OTR later on you'll probably have to go thru training.So keep that in mind.
Iggy1219 Thanks this. -
Thats very true! I would love to have this job but the only thing im hesitant about is, i will be working nights, and all the drops will be in detroit.
-
going OTR wouldn't even be a consideration for anyone with a brain. that's half pay and NEVER home. as a company driver, you'd be lucky to find anything better short of owning your own truck. -
Thats also very true. Can o/o make a good living with a day cab? Does anyone know? -
Depends on what type of trucking your in but yes take the job! I would love to be a fuel hauler at home everyday... those jobs are not easy to come by so take the job and stay there! OTR isn't all its cracked up to be... you;ll only have to run nights for a couple years probably and the road is a lonely place. At least you will have a life!
