Should I do it?

My plans have been to go to driving school, get CDL, go OTR for a year or two then come home and find a local driving job.

I know a guy that is a driver supervisor at a large soft drink company. He just emailed me and said they are about to hire local drivers. The one I'm interested in is a "bulk delivery" driver that works 4p until work is done delivering mainly to grocery stores.

I know that most of y'all advise against OTR. What do you think about skipping the OTR and just starting out local? Would doing this affect my ability to get a job somewhere else if I decided to leave that company and move on to another job?

If I wanted to go OTR at a later date, I guess that I would just have to go to school even though I already would have the CDL then to a student driver company, huh?

Thanks for any advice/thoughts...

I currently do NOT have a CDL. I believe that he told me awhile back that they will work with you on getting the CDL. Anyway, he knows that I dont have the CDL.
