is it legal for an OTR company to require an employee to be a local resident

actually i just tried searching C/L for that company. they don't seem to be a mega carrier, rather a smaller company. i will try again at a later time to see if they advertise again.

 

You apply with Swift,Prime,Werner CRST and many many more,they hire all thruout the United States.The ones that hire only from their city may not wanna spend on bussing you out too.

 

uh...here is a part of the ad, the "Gas City" is what always caught my eye, and when i had looked it up, it was a small town...

looks like Gas city is on one side of I-69, and Auburn on the other

i only went by the locations as a possible small company. if it is a mega carrier, oh well, my misunderstanding.

 

We could be talking about two totally different ads.The one I see will pay a relocation fee if you move to Indiana and drive locally.I wanna say its USX advertising but for the life of me cannot remember.I ll look its probably on todays list of ads.

 

Were thinken of the same ad but this one is posted by an employment agency.They sure do like glamouring up their trucking ads don't they?

 

the ad i just put partially here, does specify dedicated runs, home daily.....might be the same one indeed..???

 

Somebody posted this one awhile back its usx. They had called about it.

My company requires you live within 100 mile radius of a yard or drop yard.

 

yeah, the phone number can be found advertising jobs as far away as Cali...gotta be an agency, for an outfit/customer.

 

they must need drivers up there to service that account..???

 

If there is a particular company you have your eye on and they're willing to hire you if you live close enough just go there. Find a room for rent and get a P.O box and you might not even have to switch your cdl but most likely you would have to. If you're gonna be over the rd anyways what does it matter where you live. If they run lanes close to where you live now schedule home time when you'll be passing by.
