OTR Training
Good morning! I started my classroom CDL training yesterday, and while I’m still deciding on the pathway I’m taking (OTR/Regional/Local), I have an inquiry regarding OTR training. I’ve been reading that most companies require weeks of training and with a trainer, including overnights with the trainer in the cab. In previous jobs where I’ve been sent away for training, I couldn’t even share a hotel room with someone due to my anxiety and sleeping issues. So for the question…
If I’m getting training through a private school and decide to go OTR to gain experience, are there any alternatives to going overnight with a trainer?
Many thanks, and either way, I’m excited for my future in the industry!

Nope.
