I'm not bagging all OTR companies just the ..."it's what you make it" statemet because there are a handfull of OTR companies that offer nothing to be made there in a financially positive way ,so only a low rent individual could be happy at them .

My OTR experience isn't as dismal as you suggest. You also can factor in that the company is paying for my CDL school, my physicals, endorsements, and other bennies like 401k and insurances, as well as providing opportunities. So.. nope.. not a crackhead because I don't agree with you. :eek2:

So basically your are agreeing with his statement then?

"for some it will work,others it will not"

Or are "low rent individuals" not included.

I would never disparage anyone for givng it a honest try at any company. Obviously there are better companies that one could go to, but alot of times it is what one makes out of it.

Hey Big Jeep! Along with 'Snatch,' another movie on the "must see" list would be "Salton Sea." Trust me on this one if you haven't seen it. Val Kilmer's bravo performance. Tweakers defined. That must be where Wiener finds their maintenance staff!:lol:

I used to have a good laugh every time that I would be headed to LA on I-10 and would see the "Salton Sea State Park" sign.

Just because you don't agree ,don't mean it is not the truth .

We both know you don't like OTR. We get it. It's time to let it go already. This place is called "ClassADrivers.com", not "ClassADriversButOnlyIfYouAreLocal.com". There are people here who drive OTR and love their job. There is nothing wrong with that. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not right for someone else.

So let it go already. It's already beyond old.

Thanks.

Its been old for months now, I cant seem to understand why they never get tired of typing the same old repetitive statements time after time. They must be real darlings to spend time with in person.

There Is only one way you will find out about a company. The only way you can form an honest opinion of most companies is to work for them. There are ppl that don't like swift, even though I tend to agree on some fronts, overall they were ok for me. I worked for risinger bros out of morton Il. and even though I think they were going downhill in the end I can't say anything realy bad about them, they kept me running as hard as I was willing to run. I never had downtime on the road with them. As others said, it is what you make of it. If you can't deal with the BS just start looking for other companies once you qualify.
