When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Morning all, I'm in the same truck as you brother. I have found this site to be a great help with any question you may have. Even the silly ones are answered by one driver or another. But one thing is for sure! You may not always like the replies you receive, but they will all be honest answers from their experience on the road. One thing I can tell you as a fellow wannabe a trucker. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY. Use the material on this site to STUDY and pre-test. I could not figure a lot of this out like finding the applications for certain companies. I asked on here and got a lot of help. So two things to remember. STUDY ALOT, and ask questions during your breaks from STUDYING :) Good luck young man. Mark F.

I'm a young guy (21) looking to try to get started in OTR trucking. I am a motor transport operator in the Army Reserve so I have a small bit of experience behind the wheel, but civilian side I don't have a lot to go on. I was mostly wondering what companies offer training and licensing assistance. I was thinking prime inc. in Springfield MO, but I didn't want to just jump into the first one I found. Any advice on newbie friendly companies would be appreciated.
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.
