    What makes you think that this is easier than otr or regional driving?

    I just had a truck moved by a company I almost worked for, the driver said that it is a big PIA if you are not really thinking what you are getting into and he wished he stayed in otr.

    I can see his point, I drive different trucks every day of the week, rarely do I get the same one every day, and being local it sometimes is a PIA because of some problem or issue with the truck. So take that to another level and moving that truck across country or 300 miles can be trying, just because it passes inspection doesn't mean it drives right.

    I appreciate the input from everybody, I'm going to look back into going OTR, hard part is I live in Florida, so finding a quality company that has a refresher program is a bit of a pain in the ### at times lol

    I heard the same thing, I don't feel comfortable enough to go solo just yet, and if you've got a good co driver, you can make good money, just keep the truck moving.

    From what I've heard and seen about driveaway is all depends on what company you work for and what you prefer. I've heard bad and good about it and if you dont know how to be your own boss and run a business it be hard to mske it. There are vompanies thar pay expenses and some that dont.
