    Question for you O.T.R drivers... I have been driving tractor trailer trash trucks for residential. The trailers are not very long maybe 15' I can jack knife in middle of roads etc. I want to get into O.T.R the largest trailer on a day cab I pulled was 40' belly dump & end dump.
    I never went to driving school etc... I am current with my class a and current fedmed dot card / interstate.

    My question is... How would a Trucking Company hire me.. Would they put me with a trainer because I have experience of tractor trailer or would they want me to go through school at their location.

    I feel like I'm stuck because I have experience... but,,, I don't have experience with O.T.R

    Any advice is much welcomed before I begin my job search for the right trucking company.

    Most will put you through a refresher course. No big deal on those.
    Where is your location?

    Magnum will hire you if you live in their hiring area. Might have you run with a trainer for a week or too before setting you free. It ain’t a bad gig and the trucks are equipped for driver comfort.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
