Who really has the best home time.

I have found out that the internet is quite helpful in learning about these companies but the best resources is still the drivers themselves. If your at a company..ask to see and talk to a driver. Watch there facial expressions if they are legite with everything they have told you they will say yes. Hell some even offer that.

 

I drive a local dump truck and I work 8 to 12 hours a day, home every night. I love it and wouldn't do anything else.

 

my husband is currently working otr for stevens transport, and wants to find a local job here in Houston Tx. any ideas other than newspaper where to find local driving jobs?

Hey fender you still with Roehl? Just curious how its working out. I just sent in my app from my school today.

 

JK, folks. But Knight has Express driver option, 4 days out/4 days off. Problem is, you can't make any $$$ driving that. I (and anybody else) can 'modify' that to 5-8 on/4 off. Can make some $ doing that. That's the main reason why I am with them---NOT for the $$. My phone no. is 555-GET-ALIFE. Thank you.

Knight reqmt is that you must look as good as below std:

 

well if you have very close to 2 years exp and are over 23 veriha will hire you i am off every weekend make bewteen 800-950 take home and get by well the house aka hotel 1-2 times a week

 

Oh, I forgot, I drive for Knight as a hobby, $$$ not very good!.......(sigh)

 

Another thing to remember is that some guys do find their way into a local out of school, but for the most part the good paying locals are taken by the hand with stick time. If you go to school and then do a local gig and later you opt for OTR you will be in another catagory. No recent OTR, and not a recent grad. Hello refresher course because most companies will not hire you for insurance reasons. Now the local vs OTR has been a ongoing battle for many a trucker. I have been there. Get burnt out of being gone and get a local, but by the time you get home eat, shower and bedtime and off you go again. Some locals will burn you out as well. Now before one of you challenges me, think about it. I have chased the white line a few times and I like sleeping in my own bed, but the road/ local can be a mind pondering event.

 

Been there, done that. One thing tho local usually make less than OTR. Maybe unless you are union..??
