    Long island is pretty long----where exactly do u live?

    +plus why limit yourself to long island when the NYC/NJ metro area is, depending on where you live, on your doorstep with jobs bursting out the door?

    I live in Port Jefferson, middle of Suffolk County. NYC/NJ would be a long commute. Im leaning more toward OTR but it seems like Long Island isnt in anyones hiring area

    Hmmmmm.......that is pretty far out there. How far are you from JFK?--maybe try Schenker's.

    i'll get back to you because i'm thinking of making a move to the NYC/NJ metro area (and/or L.I.) but it may take a while because i'm lame.

    The other thing is, if you're planning on otr would it really make a diff if the company was on L.I.? -----because you'd be out for days at a time.

    thanks for the responses. Im about 60 miles from JFK, but with all the L.I. traffic its about a 2 hour drive. I know L.I. has nothing to do with the OTR thing, My question is that how much of a pain in the ### would it be for a company to get me routed home every few weeks. Being a newbie im probably going to have to join one of the b.s. companys. Thanks again.
