I'm still very much a rookie in trucking, I don't have a contact with my current company since I went to a private school for my license. I do not like the lifestyle of OTR and hoping that I'll be able to stick with it until I get enough experience to get a dedicated or better yet local route. I have 4 months of experience so far and was wondering how much experience I'd need to apply for one of those. The reason why I want to be home more is I'm disabled and getting my medications has been a pain and I can't do my appointments if I'm not within state lines. I'm willing to continue to struggle to get the experience but I need out of here as soon as I can. A realistic goal would help

OTR:

Over The Road

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.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Most companies will want a year, and it is recommended to stick with your first company for a year anyway.

JB Hunt has some jobs that only require 3-6 months. Might be worth looking into.
