    Good luck ! Been out here 2 1/2 weeks. I've also come to realize that I don't want to do Otr either. Hard being away from my wife and kids. I'm missing them grow up !. There are some local opportunities where I live. After training, I'm going to look into those jobs
     
    Redbeard93 Thanks this.

    So what's going to happen with the contract are you going to have to pay that back all at once or in payments

    We can pay back in payments or all at once. Haven't come to 100 % of a decision yet. We'll see when I'm done with training in 3 weeks

    Dart Transit may have something local. They hire new CDL grads.

    A lot of companies have regional work that gets you in on weekends. If you can't find a local job then the next best thing is regional work that gets you home weekly.

    I want to do OTR, but the truth is I don't know yet if it is the right fit for me. At least you tried it and know now what does and doesn't work.
