The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires every trucking company to send new drivers through orientation. The DOT also requires carriers to cover specific information during orientation, including safety information and hours of service (HOS).

Are you trying to determine if Anderson Trucking Service is the right place to grow your career with? Are you looking for a stable company to jumpstart your flatbed career? Beginning your flatbed career can be intimidating if you’ve only hauled vans. There are many uncertainties. Will you be able to handle the physical labor? How do you secure loads? How do you hook up different types of trailers?

It’s the question every over-the-road (OTR) truck driver wants to know: How much money will I make as an OTR truck driver? The answer is, it depends. And the reason it depends is that not only are there different types of truck drivers (company, lease and owner-operators) and different kinds of freight you can haul that will impact your salary, but every driver is different and will spend more or less time off the road and at home.
