    Both Robertson Ready Mix and Cemex are hiring in my area, would this be good for a new driver? Would other companies consider this good experience when I want to move on? Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you don't drive over the road to at least 3 states and keep a log book then no.
    driving a tractor trailer in state is not considered experience for an over the road company.
     
    Caynnor Thanks this.

    I was thinking more in terms of other local jobs that call for 1 year of T/T experience.

    Dude, just apply. You may end up liking it enough to where you might want to stay. As for OTR experience needed for local jobs, it's a myth. There are many of us that landed local gigs right out of CDL school without going to a mega carrier as a starter company (myself included).

    Road-runner has it right. Apply , all they can say is no. Ignore all the bs about 2 years exp needed. Some places "do" require it , but there are those that say they do and will still put you to work!

    you would be better off working for those local companies and going home every night than getting into driving over the road. Mentally and financially.
