OTR finally caught up with me
I’m a recent CDL graduate. I thought I got lucky when I was hired to drive tankers in the oilfield. It was great money. I got a taste of that good trucking life. I was unexpectedly let go when the company made some budget cuts.
I spent some time browsing and applying for local jobs, but couldn’t land anything I was happy with. I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and do my time over the road.
I took a job with Melton Truck Lines. I’m going to the pre-employment evaluation in Tulsa on Monday. If anyone has any advice on OTR flatbed work or Melton, comment below. I’d love to hear what you have to say!
I’m a newbie but I know my place. Got to start somewhere. Looking to get as much experience as I can and hopefully land something better in a year.
