Dump trucking is a completely different skill set than OTR.
There is some common ground however.
To get a dump truck job without any experience you'll probably have to resort to a small "bottom feeder" company with low wages, and poor equipment.
When I had my own dump truck business I hired experienced drivers only, but I know there are a couple companies in this area that will hire newbies, at lower than average wages of course
Once you get some experience however,if you keep a good driving record, there are good dump truck driving jobs out there.
I would not recommend starting out as a dump truck O/O without any experience.
Learn and make your mistakes on someone elses stuff, rather than your own.
