Hi everyone!

I'm new and wanted your opinion before I proceed to be an OTR driver. Have you worked as an OTR Driver? [name removed by Brett Aquila] is hiring OTR Truck Drivers for Eugene/Bend/Portland area. There's a signing bonus and full benefits, also says you will have home time every two weeks and can travel with a pet.

How does that deal sound? Here's the link so you guys can see it too:

Thanks for your thoughts,

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.

Great Opportunity if I say so myself! I have a truck friend that I met on the road who works for them and is also getting his son involved with the company as its a growing company for young individuals like yourself to get into.

I'd say go for it brother.

Ya'll don't get chances like this all the time, and If I was looking to start with a new company i would join them!

For anyone reading this forum, check them out.... I fully endorse

I'll be very honest here. This feels very much like a tag team sales job. TruckingTruth is mainly new drivers or those considering trucking and experienced drivers interested in sharing knowledge.

As someone interested in this career field, most companies don't offer sign on bonuses to new drivers, so that won't pertain to the majority of people here. I went to research this company, and I can't find hardly anything. All I found was a disgruntled ex-employee calling PS Trucking liars and a bland, no information review that sounds like the company wrote it.

As someone who is looking to get into trucking, this is not even close to enough non-biased information for me to make an informed decision. Personally, unless more unbiased information is presented there is no way I would touch PS Trucking.

Larry O,

Hmmm . . . you mean since "Johnny" & "Dale" signed up mere hours ago and they just happen to be posting about the same company in such a positive way and neither one has ever posted here before? Ya think?? To tell you the truth, I was sort of taken in by the posting myself so I'm glad you had the "voice" of reason here . . . a little too convenient . . .

At least "Rick" had enough sense to make it a hyperlink. But hey, Rick fully endorses, so I think I'll quit my linehaul job and go OTR with PS Trucking!

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.

Linehaul:

Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.

LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.
