    For good reason. Just because you can drive a class a truck doesn’t mean you will be successful in an otr position.

    Like MOST requirements of driver's lives; it is often the insurance requirements.

    Alot say 'Two years experience in like equipment."

    Now some companies, like places where the owner takes you for a road test, may bend the rules when it comes to a few months but not two years.

    Like equipment is a grey area, most take two overall years of class a while some want a large amount of it to be with their type of trailer, dump, flat, etc. so your mileage may vary.
