Thanks Miss Miyoshi. I'm sure we'll see each other around. What division were you planning on going in?

I'll likely do reefer. I have zero interest in flat bed and you need a year experience for tanker.

I'll be doing reefer too. Not sure if it'd be wise to try the Northeast reefer division though being a total noob. Driving into Boston, NYC, or DC sounds a bit intimidating at this point.

Reefer:

A refrigerated trailer.

I don't know that they'll force the issue, but I'm going to make it clear I want to drive true OTR and not anything regional. I live right outside DC so I'm familiar with traffic here, but wouldn't want to drive in town just yet. I want more experience before I tackle that. Maybe in a few years I'll do it.

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.

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.

Like you, I want to get some true OTR experience before entertaining the thought of going regional.

I'm gunning for flatbed. I want to stay in shape, solve securement challenges, laugh at the wind, smile in the rain, freeze in the snow, and deliver heavy equipment to remote locales from time-to-time.
