Since I have decided that OTR is not the direction for me right now, I am owndering if you have any advice on something that is more regional in nature, and would take new drivers.
I think if I could get into a regional or zone that I was comfortable with being able to at least see home if only for a few hours, that might be a little better. I had no problem driving the truck, and as many of you supported me by saying it will come, you were right. I have no problems with driving, my problem is becoming a ghost in my house.
I drove the gorge one night, and down black mountain which my trainer said would be a true test. I had no problems with either, so I think I could be a good driver.
I have also heard about expedited trucks... and ideas on that?
Thanks all -
Try a local sand and gravel company some will hire newbies. Or you could run a duck truck with schwans. I don't know just some suggestions
-
larry im not sure but i hear that companys like overnight/yellow and otheirs that do both city and linehaul sometimes will hire guys with some ex as dock help and then allow you to go with or help on trucks so you can evenaully move up to city driver. not real sure about it as i dont live in a area were it would be available no ltl up here it all comes out of vermont for my area but might be worth looking into .i know i saw it on differnt sites before .

It's all good Paul. Just try not to ask for a trainer anymore if ya can. i don't think they like that. There's something in the forum rule too about asking for certain thing's. I'll have to go back and re-read it. After I get my cash together and pay the IRS I'll start building up extra cash to take with me then I'll drop in the app. then hope to hear good new's. This is going to be my last try at this so I'm going to make it count.
