Hello everyone ,
Just wondering if anyone know of a trucking company that does local jobs (home every or almost every night) and offers a mentorship for rookie drivers? I know this is kind of rare and is something that is usually offered by OTR and regional companies. The company NFI is actually a local company in my area that offers a mentorship for rookie/student drivers. However, I recently found out that NFI is no longer accepting graduates from my school (NETTTS), due to a student that was hired and got into an accident in an NFI truck.
I would greatly appreciate any leads on this. I have a prewire with Schnieder for doing regional but I would really prefer doing local.
Thanks in advance!

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.
