OTR or NASCAR?

Dude! Consider the braggin rights!! Not to mention hookups with tickets. Do the NASCAR!!!

 

Ah, I see what your saying. Man.... for a single dude with no kids thats a gimme go nascar. But if you got responsibilities, ####, that's a tough call.

 

If you don't take that job, and wanna toss someone in Charlotte a bone, PLEASE send me a pm! I'll give you a call and buy you a beer (or 10).

 

My turn!!
Starting at $30,000 a year with 1 1/2 or more months off. TAKE THE JOB!
Break it down a little: The money is good for a rookie OTR driver! A lot of these BFI companies out here have cut pay saying the RATES went down. They didn't not to mention it's sounding like a lot of them are sitting around spending money to feed themselves. They pay your motel and food right? There's a plus in my book! I didn't see where you are married or have obligations. HMMM TAKE THE JOB! The benefits "look" good to me! With these BFI's out here if you get 50 days at home you're freaking lucky! You'll get how much in the off season? 1.5 months? With pay?? TAKE THE JOB even with out pay! So what if it's a 60' trailer as alot of them are with an OL permit! That 7 extra feet ain't nuttin! TAKE THE JOB! Nice shiny truck, truck needs repairs it gets fixed unlike alot of these companies. Word of mouth through the NASCAR crowd could get you into a "better" job. And as mentioned rubbing elbows with celebs?
DUDE!! TAKE THE JOB! The pay is actually better than an OTR rookie job! The savings you'll get from the bennies of Motel and food, Need I say more on that? AND I'll bet you that they pay your clothing as in uniforms. Another bennie! There is NO difference of bumping a loading dock and then driving to another stop. You'll be doing the same thing! Point A to B. You just don't have to screw with moron dispatchers, dock foremen and security guards and then sitting for hours or days waiting for a load! Just make it to where ever and drop a ramp and maybe get to drive the newest in race cars on and off the trailer??? DUDE!!!TAKE THE JOB!!!!

Yeah the pressure of scratching the paint can be a little hard to handle but heck if the doctors said I'm good to go and could drive again I'd be beating your arse into the ground for this kind of cake job! But my days are pretty much over and my wife would use sharp objrcts on small body parts if she knew what NASCAR drivers get to see on the road! OR EXPERIENCE!

This is a no brainer! This job offers you advancements. Where do you get advancements in OTR except for a penny a mile every whenever?? I've been doing this for 32 years! There is NO ADVANCEMENTS in trucking unless you: Buy a truck and start your own company, quit driving and go into the office and become a PITA for the rest of the drivers in some office job like dispatching, brokering in the office which I think they call an LC or whatever or the logs person or safety or a low life recruiter!

Yes, this is your decision. Advice is given freely and what you do with it is yours to make.You asked a question and it's been answered by some and others in their dreams! But the money for now is about the same without the crappy hassles that most rookies are getting beat to death with! If this job were to fall through there will be an OTR job out there. In this case the only differences is what you haul. Do you NOT call a car hauler an OTR driver? Or how about one of those "Horseless Carriage" drivers? They haul ALL of Jay Lenos cars. You will have the fun of not having to screw around with the dregs of trucking like shippers, receivers and lumpers! The same people who could care less if you've been on the dock 24 hours with no food, or could care less if the load is going to be late! Again and I'll be about as blunt as I usually am....

TAKE THE FREAKING JOB DUDE!

Ahh, did I say take the job or not? I went into dreamland about driving anything associated with NASCAR! Now I'll never get the smile off my face tonight or the fantasies from running rampit through my mind! Make a decision before the offer is removed from the table or you'll be kicking yourself for it, knowing that OTR jobs are a dime a dozen but NASCAR comes only once in a select few drivers lives. You can always come over to the dark side of trucking as an OTR driver. You can still sing "West Bound and Down" while driving for NASCAR! But if you don't take the chance everytime you see a single NASCAR truck and trailer or a convor of them pass you by you'll always think"Man what was I thinking?" and watch them drive into the distance wishiing you had at least tried! OTR will never go away! And women LOVE a NASCAR uniform!
