OTR or local??? Quick decision needed!

Anything is better then $0

 

Go and talk to the other contractor drivers before making a selection,Swift sucks but you will get experience and after a year you can move up for a better job,and think most of the contractor dont pay much and you probably dont have any benefits,sounds to nice to be true.

 

Were do you live? Sounds alot like the drivers at the post office were my wife works.

 

Accept it, or if you don't you'll be wishing you would have. It pays you by the hour for ALL your time and racks up experience for a better mail run in the future.

 

Not excellent money to start off but working for the government has a lot of other perks. The benefit would probably be very good and if you stick with it your retirement would surely make up for the little start off pay.

Tough decision. Personally if I were in your position and driving was just a temporary thing then maybe over the road would be the way to go. Unless you pay up front for your school though you will have to sign a year contract with Swift for schooling. Maybe weigh out your long term goals and see if its worth it.

 

actually, most local places dont care how much OTR you have and most OTR dont care how much local you have. was this for a sub carrier or the actualy post office? either way with 4 hours a day that is more then enough room to make some phone calls and do some other dump/tanker/drop and hook work.

 

I averaged $750 a week my first year. And that was at a regional position which did not give major miles...
