L.B., what about being a trainee? Can you get regional fresh off the trainers truck? How do you get in line for that? Whats the process they use to fill that? A millis driver trainer told me one of his trainees went straight to regional from his truck. Guess what im asking is does a trainee with no experience always have to start otr?
miles for the week

no you dont have to start otr but most of the time there are little to no spots open for short haul. what you do is tell the dispatcher to put you on the list. i got put on the list for trenton regional and got a spot about 3-4 weeks later. so just depends on region and availability

Thanks L.B., sounds like I was on the right track. Didnt know that about the help from otr vs regional.

Wow thanks for all the insight guys.. I think some otr will be good for the experience but with the kids at home ill try to get on that list.. Thanks again!.. sorry to hijack the miles thread! On the subject tho.. what would you consider the miles/pay difference frome OTR to Regional.. or is it to varied?

LB I'm starting Cartersville on the 7th. Your in my neck of the woods. You don't happen to be a trainer or know one close do you?

Its fine powder, I should have asked this in my other thread. Its probably based on how hard you run with either. Based on my reading, regional gets home every weekend, cutting out miles unless you elect to stay out a weekend and the routes are shorter so they can get you home sooner. Otr just depends on how often you stay out. Going home every 14 days for 2 wont make as much as staying out say 6 weeks or so and taking 3 or 4 days off. Ive heard some regional drivers say they are home every weekend and still get about 2500 miles a week. Please correct me if Im wrong guys.
