Ok guys, I have 20 years experience in driving tractor trailers. I have driven in numerous states but have never been away from home for more than 2 days. I can drive in all kinds of weather. I can navigate to anywhere using a combination of maps or the gps. I know when to fuel up the truck before it runs out of diesel. I can find truckstops anywhere. I can sleep in the back of a truck just like everybody else. i can take care of myself with regards to hygiene. I can also look after myself when it comes to eating and not starving. I can manage money YET I wont be considered as an experienced OTR driver for many companies. What am I missing. What is there more to know that a company thinks I need to run with a trainer for 6 weeks at least. Oh did I mention I can drive both forwards and backwards, blindside into a dock in a tight spot and not damage transmissions

Your applying at the big trucking companies, dont, look for the smaller companies, You`ll make more money. The big companies want the new drivers to get there $6K training muney, then dump them, and get the next crew in. With 20 driving, hold your pride, and look elsewhere, THERE OUT THERE. Good Luck.
