Experience for local jobs.

I do not want to run OTR and pretty much every local home daily jobs want at least 3-6 months or a year of experience.

Do companies recognize running your own authority as "experience"?
Even if your just starting out and fresh out of school?

Cargo insurance will be the most difficult to get. Progressive will also not allow you to haul steel or coils under there policy.

You don't need to post the same thing more than once. You have responses on the other thread.
