Is Ct regional flatbed considered to be OTR?

It all depends on the company that you're applying to work for. Some companies consider 5 or more states as OTR experience, others want coast to coast.

Quite honestly, the companies that I've seen that require 'OTR experience' aren't the best companies out there.

 

the reasoning behind the term OTR in recruiting, is to determine if you have adapted to living in a truck for an extended period of time.

I've driven for small companies my whole time and have been cross country and to Canada.

the term regional is a rather new term, last 10-15 yrs.

it was either local or a road driver.

does that answer your question?

probably not.lol

depends on the company you apply with, don't worry about it.

if your out all week or so, running the east coast, your OTR in my book.

 

When people ask at my company what we consider OTR exp I tell them simply multi state, logbook required with multiple overnight stays.

We require this for many reasons, it shows the prospective employee understands how to use a logbook, can handle being out for more than just a day and that they probably have done knowledge of how to find parking at night.

 

well,mackE-6, I don't remember ppl being kept out that long when I started out.

if you were out that long, it was by choice.

could be wrong or just never ran across them.
