Does Mileage and Experience hold the same weight?

I've never known one to quantify the miles, although there probably are some, but I would think they would expect you to have been driving the majority of the time for the 6 months

6 months OTR is going to have more miles that 6 months of city driving, but the experience levels will be different.

I guess it depends on the job you are applying for and how your experience matches the requirements for the job.

 

If they don't ask, don't mention it. If they ask why you are switching and miles are the reason, give them something along the lines of...

"I am looking for something offering more consistent miles. I understand they vary as the year goes by but at my last carrier it was from a high of _____ to a low of _____, I am looking for something that is around the High on a more regular basis"

If they do not ask however, don't volunteer it, you have been running OTR for the last six months.

 

They don't care about the miles. But still keep track of your miles as they will likely ask for it on the application...by type of trailer you pulled. Van, tanker, etc.

 

I have never been asked how many miles. I assume they get that when they check your previous carrier.

 

Lots of Applications ask for miles.
I always average it out at 10-11k/month never been questioned about it.

 

Guess I have just been lucky then. Never seen it.
