On another note..... WHY would ANYONE choose a OTR job VS. local??? Your home every night, make more money, and actually have a life!!! I know there are those select people that love adventure, time alone, and are fianancially (sp?) set. Otherwise.... its a NO BRAINER.... or is there somethin I'm missing here? Personally I've NEVER went OTR, been in a tractor-trailer over 6 years, and never made less then $700 a week.... and I missed a day that week... :lol: Oh, and PLEASE... don't challenge me..... because my reputation on this forum will prove I'll dig up each and every damn check stub back to 2002 when I got my CDL and post em... 8)

Not sure why so many people feel the need to slag OTR. Someone around here said "they make different flavors of Kool-aid for a reason".
