As bad as it may seem sometimes try to think of it as a learning experience. Think of it as what you dont want when it comes time for that next step in your career. Try to stick out with the first job as long as you can. But, it doesnt mean you cant be looking for something local. For every day that you are out there on the road means another day of experience. When I started driving I was with Werner for 4 months but with my mom in laaws healt family was important and have no regret being there for her last months. But what worked for me in those 4 months was that I was always on time, kept open communications with my DM and did what had to be done to get the bills paid. Being that I was OTR 48 states made my employer more comfortable in hiring me. He basically told me that being I was 48 he knew that I could handle myself with out him babysitting me and I did. Hopefully things go well for ya and remember that sometimes you learn twice as much when you make that wrong decision. But try to keep it optimistic.

My brother worked at Tyson out of Springdale, AR for 5 years. He really enjoyed his time there. He then got his own truck and became an O/O with Navajo, where he's been for the past 3 years. He didn't want to do the OTR thing that long either, but it but it got in his blood, and now he thinks it's the greatest job ever.

Yea that's what I've heard lol, I'm sure once I get my own truck things may change some. But I think my main goal is getting some experience and achieving that "gravy" Job everyone talks about haha!
