    Hi,

    If I live in N.Y made daily deliveries located within N.Y, N.Y.C, N.J and C.T would that be considered Local or Regional? I just notice some of the job listings say they only want OTR experience.

    Were you in your own bed every night?
    That's local.
    Regional I think would still technically be otr, just not to all 48?

    I'd just apply to whatever job you think will suit you. I've never had a job where I ticked all their want boxes, most companies are flexible on some of it.

    I was happily home every night, so guess that would be local.
    We do multiple runs a day, but most are under 250 miles round trip.

    Technically local is when you don't need to fill out a RODS log book except if you are driving past 12 hours from when you began your shift. If you travel beyond the 100 mile radius, then that's regional, even if you are home every night.
