    I love local work. I'm off every weekend. I also run nights though so that could be a big thing. I don't deal with traffic or multiple stops everynight. I load and unload my trailer 3 times a night. It doesn't pay as well as otr but way less stress
     
    Aryi and Chinatown Thank this.

    What is that supposed to mean? I'm asking an honest question. I have a family and I'm in school. So no I don't want to drive OTR.

    That means that in this industry you usually can't just go start out locally and be home everyday.. sometimes you have to start at the bottom and pay your dues

    Thanks, I drive now for a courier company where they pay us 130 a day but I work ten hrs a day and it's physically demanding plus they make us lease our vans and pay for gas. I don't make any money. The are ### raping us.
