Seems like every day I read this forum, it is the same thing time and time again. "I'm thinking of going with ________ but I read bad things about them so I think I will stay away." I started driving in 2011 and have worked for 6 companies and have gone back to 2 of them after quitting so I am on my 9th job since 2011 but NONE of them were bad. I actually enjoyed every single 1 of them as far as a trucking job goes. I personally just don't like it on the road so I work 1-9 months and quit. (only 1 of the jobs I had for 9 months, the others were done in 4 or less). I would go back to any of them right now besides 1 of them and it was a great company if u like Tanker, personally I didn't like the labor. I got fired from my last job and still say they were a great company, if not the best of them all. The job I have right now, I just started 2 weeks ago and no complaints here either. Bottom line is, truck drivers are going to complain and tell bs stories/lies as well as exaggerate every single thing. If you want an OTR job, get an OTR job. If you want a Regional job, get a regional job. Local job, get a local job. Dedicated, get a dedicated job. Find what u want to do and don't let someone tell u not to because low and behold, that will be the best company FOR U!
On a side note, for people wondering if I hate the road, y don't I find a local job.........because they require searching for. I like picking up the phone, calling a recruiter and 24 hours later have an approval to go to orientation. Once again, that's ME.
Are my eyes lying to me?

It's easier to come here (or other boards) and ask questions rather than taking time to do thorough research beforehand and only once you've exhausted those sources do you ask others for their opinion / advice.
And yes, the grass is always greener. I did OTR for 2 months and then went local..never had the inclination to anything but in the last 8 years. Some people really dig OTR - I hated every second of it.TruckDuo Thanks this. -
