    3 months probation otr is just to get you at the door they did that to me nd it didn't work just tell them you want to start right with a local position they will do it they just threw that 3 months probation on you to see if you will do it,,,, Trust me tell them you want local or you dont want it nd let know i bet they will be like okay what account would you like... They tried it on me but my friend worked for them for 23 years nd he gave me the trick...Good luck..

    Regional is usually out 5 or 6 depending and home for a restart. Jb has so many DCS accounts available your better off going with one of them.
