Is driving experience the same as OTR driving experience?

    For instance it looks like I'll be able to forego cdl school (have my license but haven't driven in about 6 years) driving for a local company hauling 53 ft chip vans - but can I work there a year and have "OTR" experience even though its home every night? Thanks!!!

    Long story short -- no.

    Having "OTR experience" would mean just that, experience driving over the road; you're a local driver.
