    It's hard to get on with a local company, without so much OTR experience. Some have more requirements than others...As far as OTR, I just went through USA truck's training, and am fixen to head out solo.

    You will need to decide your comfort and ability. I personally do not want to be in the truck with a trainer, I am looking at Watkins & Shepard trucking. I am intrigued by flatbed and am looking into Prime as well. I need 20k miles with a trainer and if I need to be with a trainer a few weeks why not learn flatbed right?

    So if you are comfortable with out a trainer I think from reading everyone's post especially CAGE, Deserted, Warped and Lynch from WS it looks like a great company.

    If you are less comfortable and don't mind a trainer I am leaning toward May for Van and Prime for flatbed and might even go with a lease.

    Good luck.
