    Your first couple months once you are OTR in your own truck they put you with a dispatcher who specializes in working with new drivers and will pair you up with your permanent dispatcher once you are ready. Regional doesn't have that. We have different dispatchers and things work a little differently.

    I guess I did it a little backwards. Once the kids are a little older I'll probably go OTR.

    I was put straight into regional.. it depends alot on your location and what they have open. But if you want it talk to wade when you get close to testing out

    Thanks Curtis for the input is wade at the Cartersville location, I guess the good thing about it all is i already have my class A i just didn't have that much experience. I hope to get in a regional position when i'm done with training.

    Curtis, was lucky 7 your trainer? If so you are the third I've heard of. If not, there is a fourth out there somewhere who went straight to regional. Proof it can be done!

    Just make sure everyone knows. I couldn't remember wades name but he is the guy who Greg and my trainer talked to to get me in a regional truck. The most important time to remind them is right after you test out with MILLIS for your own truck. That's when they start looking for a truck for you. I tested out in Cartersville and asked about one of the regional trucks being available and I was put right in it that day.
