Hwy Training Without Living In Truck?
Topic 23466 | Page 4
If there was a company that wanted to put me in a truck pulling a tank trailer full of fuel down the highway there's no way in hell I would accept something like that with my lack of experience . That would be insane. From what I've seen online none of those jobs are open to anybody with less than 3 years of experience.
John so very glad to hear that. Please keep us posted on your progress and the job.
Best of luck and safe travels!

I just got my class A CDL , and I have no interest in being cooped up with some weirdo in a truck for weeks at a time to be trained over the road.
Is he talking about Rainy?
I was.originally gonna comment on that line with "well this weirdo doesnt want you on her truck"
but now...

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
