Local vs otr for first job

The only thing you need to be a trucker is know how to drive, dock, and not complain. Everything else you learn as you go. Hell, some with the job are still learning how to drive and dock. Trucking companies will put you on a seat regardless of what your past experiences are. They just need a seat warmer for their appointments.

 

I meant enough experience for local food/beverage distribution

 

And believe me, there are ######### out here. So don't think too much about the job. Just do it already.

 

I start school Monday just trying to get a read on the local jobs vs otr

 

Yea sure. What you don't know, you'll sponge it up.

 

Got an interview with pepsis franchise distributor here in meridian next week

 

True, I call them part time drivers. Drive just like there still in a car in Rush hr traffic. No respect for anybody on the road. LTL s

 

Heres my thinking, i already know how to stock drinks and food from hand carts i do it all day at McDonald's with cases of drink and meat. Then at dg i stocked cases of storebrand soda onto hand carts to stock on the shelves. Not to mention all the stocking from big metal hamdcarts

 

Since im already good at stocking all day, have a clean background , mvr and am going through school for my cdl i should stand a pretty good chance. From what I've seen most of the job is stocking and rotating product while driving from location to location. Anything im missing

 

Were you able to land a local trucking job?
