OTR Definition

Never worked for a mega either. Started in construction in a DM Mack with two sticks. Lots of site work and heavy weights. First truck I bought was an '89 Mack R688ST 12 speed. Learned all those good transmissions. It was very confusing when the recruiter said that they won't put my truck on. Oh well..

 

Thanks...I hope so. Truck has been parked since before Christmas, when my lease to company position fell through. Thinking about reactivating my authority and going. Lots of flat work here in the Northeast for the upcoming season. Cheap freight, but it turns the wheels. Last thing I need to do is sell my tractor.

 

Absolutely correct!! Never have or will drive for a mega. May pull a load off their board to get home...that's it. Rent a flat, as I only have a dump trailer, and go. I have previous customers up here and flat work contacts...it's getting over the $$$ hurdle now. Truck parked...bills don't stop. No flatbed experience since 2005, so most would have to take no tarp loads til I purchase/figure out how to tarp.

 

I would entertain the idea. Haven't pulled a flat since '05....it was all material on pallet and landscape supply. Recent past experience has been end dump and petroleum. Running Northeast heavy weight=105,000(five axle). I don't have a flat, or any securement besides a winch bar and PPE. Based in the Northeast(MA). Clean record, no accidents, no traffic convictions, no DWI, clean...clean. Current HazMat, tank, and TWIC. Will run "OTR", or regional....I have a family, and they are the most important.
