It can be rough, especially if your bf is an O/O......insurance is horrid. Will it make a difference if you get a year of OTR under your belt ??
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.

When those of you who are experienced Lady Truckers finished CDL school, did you sign up with a major OTR company and sign up with a contract? I have spoke to a few trucking schools and they all say a little something different. Contract means they own you???? I was going to team with my boyfriend after school, but the insurance would be too outrageous so now I am going alone to get the experience before team driving with him. Not looking forward to going alone.
