I wondering if I should wait until I got a total of a year of experience or apply to places before then? Currently adding my time with crst and werner would total 5 months.
Should I wait until a year or try before then?

Never hurts to try, just don't leave your current place without something else lined up.
bryan21384, QuietStorm, Rollr4872 and 2 others Thank this. -
Pretty much. Employers in any field frown on unemployment time.
-
Also, keep in mind that was that little experience under your belt any future employment will look at you as a brand-new rookie. So anywhere you go, you will have to go through their training process. If that's three months in a truck with a trainer, that's what you'll be doing. It's not until a year usually that they begin to wave that requirement
-
A number of years ago I would council no stay there. Today with carriers so desperate for drivers most of the old rules have been turned on their ear. If you can land a job do it. Just try to stay there for 2 or 3 years.
aramil248 Thanks this. -
werner did have me go out with a trainer for 70 hours finished it in 61
-
Maybe I should ask @Chinatown and if I need to go longer it's fine. So far werner is waaaaay better than crst will ever will be I'm actually enjoying myself
-
If you're enjoying yourself, then stay there. And 70 hours was really not a lot. I was with my trainer for a hundred and sixty hours
x1Heavy, Newrookmiami, Aamcotrans and 1 other person Thank this. -
thing is I would rather do regional but only regional this company has is dollar store accounts
-
And I've heard from more than a few drivers that those accounts are a nightmare. Regional positions are one of those that are in kind of high demand in a lot of places, so you're going to need a little bit of experience to compete for those. If you can find the perfect job for you, then by all means go for it. But I wouldn't expect the whole lotQuietStorm Thanks this.
