Congrats on your license!
Forget about Prime. no biggie...
Forget the dump truck. It ain't class A.
The waste transfer wouldn't be bad....probably.
But you want OTR. Yup.... It is a blast! I had fun! Loved it! But face the fact it isn't very healthy. That's why I'm working regional from my home town now. Admit that I'm better off all around.
Besides what chinatown came up with...
Magnum.... Tony will have respect for you training yourself and getting your license on your own.
If you decide local instead.... Food service pays really well and is very health. I tell those guys they got the best job in trucking. I can't do that since a lower back injury years ago. Darn!truckdriver31 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Which town are you living in?
Maybe something available nearby that's tractor-trailer and local.
I thought you want OTR is why I posted those other companies.
I'm pro-OTR, but that's not for everyone.truckdriver31, cncking2000, Dreazz75 and 2 others Thank this. -
truckdriver31 Thanks this.

I just want to go in the direction that opens more doors. I've spent the last two years driving a box truck and that means nothing it seems.truckdriver31, WesternPlains and Chinatown Thank this. -
Here's one that @FlaSwampRat can give information on, including what pay to expect:

My opinion....
OTR does mean alot. It's a whole world of experience you can't get local. Besides.... it's fun. I had a blast. Seriously. .... Unless you wanna stay home.
I'll never forget. One night a cold storage opened at midnight. Tons of truck to get in there. They asked me at the gate where my truck is at? (there's a reason) I pointed at it next to the shack we were in. They said ok. Checked me in. I'm to go to a waiting area and wait for Receiving to call me. Only about 15 minutes later. Receiving calls me. I back up to a door. Go inside with my paperwork. Very good place. They do the thinking for you. You need it at 1am. Then I wait in line at the guys who do the unloading. Suddenly the lady comes storming out of the Receiving Office. Shoves paperwork in this drivers chest. Screams at him: "I didn't call you! You get your truck out of here! You get back to the waiting area! You wait for me to call you!"
I did everything I could to stop from rolling on the floor laughing. Supertruckers...gotta love em.truckdriver31, JForce28 and FlaSwampRat Thank this.
