OD hires from my school

The line haul manager from the OD terminal near my CDL school visited our class. They hire from our school as long as we have an 85% average or better. Here's my question, I'm wondering if I should go OTR first with another company to get the experience (for a year), and then see if OD is still hiring later. Our family already has made the decision that OTR is not a viable long term option, so going OTR would only be a means to an end.
Here's some things I've been considering that might influence my decision:
1. OD to my knowledge doesn't have a rehire policy - if I wanted to experience OTR, I'd better do it first before joining w/ OD.
2. My understanding is that even just 1 year of OTR will open more opportunities (kind of a moot point if I have a great line haul opportunity already available w/ OD right out of school)
3. People keep telling me to grab that OD opportunity while I can. The line haul manager said he has like 100 or so positions that need filled (between line haul, combo, and P&D) immediately, so I'm not sure if that will be around in a year or not. I'd be interested in line haul. He said there's plenty of wed-sun shifts (two days off) open, that the mon-fri are more coveted. I don't really care if I took the wed-sun.
4. I already have my tank, doubles / triples, and am waiting for the feds to clear my hazmat. i'll be done with school in about 3 weeks, when i test for my license.
5. the otr company I'm interested in is crete carrier, for more background info

Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

Thanks for the response, and encouragement! His business card says Harrisburg Manager, but technically the terminal is in Carlisle, PA.

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated! Seems like almost everybody is telling me to go OD right out of school.

 

What did you mean by HAR is a huge terminal, that a 'good' or 'bad' thing?
