What's the best position??

Good answer

 

That all depends on the individual driver and what he wants out of life among other things. No one answer fits all.

 

I used to drive chemicals. Why do you recommend it?

 

For the first year, it really doesn't matter. Companies like to see otr, but linehaul at any outfit, even one where you're home more frequently, will do.

After that? You need to specialize immediately. LTL, flatbed, tanker, etc.

The money is in specialization. There's no money in OTR any more, thanks to the mega carriers.

And the megas are coming for refrigerated, so keep that in mind. They're not really good at anything, but many customers will take good enough.

 

I have one year of otr

 

That should typically be enough to get you a decent job. The really exclusive jobs like to see two years, but even those places make exceptions.

 

What did you do after the year?

 

Do you know....Thinking of moving to Missouri do they require to retake all test to transfer out of state cdl?
