    Some OTR companies don't even count daycab CDL-A as experience.

    Have you applied with any tractor-trailer companies?
    Let us know. Also your location & endorsements.
    You're in Maryland, right?

    When I got out of end dumping I called around to a few companies and even with 17 years experience and no accidents, some said their insurance wouldn’t cover me as I didn’t have 48’ or longer trailer experience within the last 2 years. My frameless was 40’.
