If you've ever applied for an over-the-road (OTR) truck driving job, you've likely seen something like this: "Six months OTR experience required," or "One year of OTR experience required." You might've then asked yourself: "How do I build experience when I need experience to get started?"

Anderson Trucking Service (ATS) driver orientation typically lasts three days for dry van drivers and four days for flatbed drivers. During orientation, you'll complete paperwork, review safety procedures, take required tests, and meet the people who will support you on the road. ATS also arranges your travel and lodging so you can focus on getting ready for your new role.
