    Hi, I am looking to find out some info on Smith Transport in PA. I am currently driving all New england states and doing day runs. Been there for 2 years now I used to do OTR back in the 90,s. Maybe I have 20+ years Vans Reefers Flatbeds . I was wondering if thats considered OTR experiance. I could fill out an application and go from there. I am thinking about running the North East again. thanks!

    I don t see why it would be a problem. Eventhough you run the New England states, that is still considered OTR. I guess the question that Smith may ask is do you have experience in driving I different environments( big cities, hills, mountains, and bad weather. Seeing that you have 20 years experience I don t think it ll be an issue

    No training program at Smith... You go thru orientation, test out, and it's off to the road you go. I just talked to them earlier today and I am also looking to drive for this company come October. I have never met an unhappy Smith Transport driver.
