I had two very good - not perfect - trainers and spent about 75% of my 6 training weeks pulling Northwest Heavy Haul. I can say with complete confidence that there is no better training, period, than NWHH. You will learn how to drive a truck. You'll learn how your truck is going to react in a whole bunch of situations you'd be a lot less likely to encounter elsewhere in the country. With that kind of training you can take a truck just about anywhere with a lot more confidence.
That said, if you choose to stay with NWHH, you'd get home at least weekly or at least as often as you'd care to. If you choose OTR, like me, it would more or less depend on how far you were willing to wander. I like going coast to coast and corner to corner. You need to understand that freight moves the truck. You could get a load to the East coast that takes 5 days and then spend 2 weeks (or more) trying to get back.
Please I could care les if you show respect to me on this forum.Swift speaks for itself,if you dont like my opinion to f'n bad.
