Thanks Trucking Truth
Topic 2154 | Page 1
Hey that's great new Ryan! Glad to hear it! If you'll keep that safety record clean and stick with that company for a year or so you should see a lot more opportunities open up. Because it isn't OTR you may wind up having to do a little "refresher course" or go on the road with a trainer for a short time when getting hired on by an OTR outfit if that's what your goal is. But hey, that's no big deal, right?
Congrats! Let us know anytime you have any questions. We're always here to help out!
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.
Congratulations Ryan!
Brett is exactly right. Stay on your toes, and don't let a bad attitude creep up on you so that you mess things up. Somebody gave you a shot, I knew they would, but it's really important that you step up and do an awesome job for them. Even if it's tough, just stick with it and that will make it so much easier for you on the next job search your doing. Somehow a good clean record of experience helps people be willing to overlook some felony charges.
I wish you the best!
Congrats Ryan!!!!
That's great news
