How to go local (without experience)

There are good Regional and OTR companies out there... just have to do homework and research. Those would be a bit harder to get on with though but usually those good companies are hard to get on with as thr turnover rate is low

 

Why does it matter? No one is saying that local work with no experience is likely. Only that its possible. One is more than none.

 

It wouldn't really matter since inactivity does not mean someone quit driving. Plenty probably have though, but it wouldn't give you any sort of real idea about anything.

 

The last statistics I saw were something like 88% drop out rate for "national" OTR, about 20% for Regional OTR, and 7% for Local (home every night). The reasons are obvious.

Seeing the country can get pretty old after a few months, I guess.

 

it is possble that I become a rocket scientist. likely?

these newbies do need to have realistic expectations

 

So you think they should have realistic expectations. And you think the best way to do that is to lie to them. You'll have to excuse me if I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

 

RR, may I ask what geographical region you are boasting about? I would like to apply at your company. I am losing my least soon after the new year, and I don't give much of a #&#$ where I live--though I prefer it not be the northeast. Thanky.
