I'm a local driver looking to go otr. I've been driving three plus years with zero tickets or accidents, a couple little yard scrapes but nothing of any substance. I've got 2.5 years with my first company and 9mos with my current company. I also went to a school to get my CDL.

I know this equates to nothing with the otr companies, but all I want is to not spend a bunch of time with a trainer. I hate being with another driver, especially living with them. Any ideas on companies that may give me a little credit for time served?

Thanks to all for any responses.

What area do you live in??

I only do local too. One time many moons ago i was thinking of going OTR but no company would hire me. But i did find 2 smaller companys that did OTR that would. Maybe try to stay away from the big companys and look smaller. less then 100 trucks.

I feel the same way as you do with driving with someone esle. I hate it.

I'm in Omaha.

If you have your "X" endorsement....try....

Wynne Transport Service, INC.

or try........

Johnsrud Transport, Inc. :: Home ....... If you don't want to do hazmat.

yeah i agree wit Mackman... try to find a smaller OTR operation, even those can be tricky but as long as your got 2.5 years you should be fine, if you do got to a bigger companies see if you can get on a dedicated account, believe it or not i hear Werner actually have decent dedicated programs and J.B Hunt, but try to stay away from the 48 state route and the regional routes from the Mega places!!

Thanks guys!! I'll be looking into it more this week.
