Should your experience count ALL professional experience or not?

    All experience - if you drove it, you earned it.

    Only what carriers would accept - if it's been more than 3 years since you've driven, you are a newb

    It says "Trucker? How Many Years Trucking?" in plain English. Why do you want to start reading things into the question that weren't meant to be?

    Just put how how many years you've been a trucker. Simple enough.

    Heck I wouldn't hold it against you if you included the years you pushed your Tonka toys around the yard!

    It's just an internet forum. People lie all the time!

    The only thing on your list there a local driver might be at a disadvantage on is logbooks. There are plenty of locals that end up on the same scales an OTR truck will.


    They still have to comply with the same DOT regs as an OTR and possibly even more because they are staying local and have to worry about airmile rules and such.
