hey mud buggy
im new to the board, been otr for 4 yrs starting in 05, and now im local pulling doubles on night shift. if i were u i'd stay where your at. You get home everyday and youre doing 35 k a yr, which in my "earn your stripes period" i was lucky to make that OTR, with all the downtime and begging for loads out. I dont want to discourage you if you are really eager to try out the OTR life. But it is a Lifestyle, not just a driving job! smelly truck stops from all the urine soaked in the concrete, lot lizards beating on your window at 3am. spending half your check on food at the pilots and TA's. so pretty much your away from home 24 hrs a day up to 6 weeks at a time and all the expenses that go with it. Since you have so much time as a ready mix driver, try to find a local gig, or at least a regional to get ya home on weekends. just my opinion.
