Solid company. Been good to me so far. Went through the 7 week program with no experience. Paid me the whole 7 weeks and was home on the weekends. Beats being over the road training and not getting paid. Been out on my own for a while running regional with decent miles and seeing my own bed couple nights a week. would recommend to anyone

Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Over The Road:
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.
