    If the local job is a state job with good benefits such as 401k etc, I would take that one. If its a contractor then if they lose the contract then you could be out of a job in which case I would go for the regional bulk job.

    Even if that job came to an end for whatever reason, you would have some tank/"otr" experience under your belt which would get you into another job faster.

    It's through some staffing agency and I'm unsure if it's temp to hire. I need to ask that because thats another consideration.

    I didn't even see that post, definitely sound advice. Yea if it has the possibility of becoming a state job I'll definitely take it.

    It's very hard to find reviews of the regional company but by the looks of the few I've found seems to be a "good company" to drive for. They said 2-3 days out then back to load up and get the next assignement. Take your 34hr reset at home ect.
