Advice on going back OTR

I worked for Knight. They're not bad at all. Left for local gig, didn't go back because of hair test and I'm balding, don't want to get armpits or other body parts shaved again... Trucks at 65 if your idle % is below 17%. If not it slows down to 63. I drove at 63.. didn't bother me much because I ran i5 most of the time so that was a good top speed lol.

They leave you alone as long as you do your job. They got freight and decent drop and hook. I did dry van.. they also have reefer and ports. Trucks are taken care of and I liked their elog system, easy to work around if need be . I'd say that's better than western but good luck though.

 

.... and @Keiler05 yes that's the Dale I'm talking about~! What a man. What a mighty GOOD man. @Stone Dude if you got IN with Knight, you could move to their elite division after sometime in. Actually, the guy that Keiler and I are talking about started with Western.
pm Keiler for the details; because when I'm not home my fingers are too fat for the dang Chromebook or ANY thing i'm allowed to take...
I work nights, and sleep days......but the wife won't give up her techno anyway.
Good advice here, tho man.
Best of luck, be safe.

 

There has been a bunch of changes to OTR.

I suggest you look real hard at those who might say yes. Frankly as far as Im concerned if I wanted to OTR today I would find it unlike what it was then in many ways related to dispatch, cameras, apus etc.

An example. APU's were too fancy, too expensive, guzzles weight idle away... Now? Everyone and their boss wants them. sheesh.

 

Best of luck to you, man. Tell them that Dale / Old School is one of your mantras. . . . either at Western, or if you get into Knight. They all know him. He's an older guy (so am I but still a bit younger than him....) and he got kicked out of 3 orientations for various issues.. hernias, etc. Now, he's a TOP TIER driver for Sapa, which is the flatbed elite fleet of Knight.
If you want this bad enough, you can do it.
Personally, I'd go with Western before the other two, because KLLM is all about that "lease" bout that Lease, no "treble...."
CRE, um.... teams?
All the info I have for you, from my experience with people I've met that have worked at the above.
Just my 2cents~!!!
Again, Best to you man.

 

You might need a month or more. Spouse had 12 weeks plus with me and it was not enough once she began to really learn her first year. I think I aged 10 years defending her where possible from screw ups.

 

Nothing is ever, nothing is EVER final. You have thousands if not tens of thousands of trucks sitting, approx 10 to 14% of the entire Nations inventory of around 9 million to 12 million involved in trucking.
