Doesn't matter what state you live in, experience in Combos is usually considered when crossing multiple state lines, not local work.
Local work is local work and long haul is long haul.
A person can cross over from OTR to local with recognized experience yet rarely reversed.
Yes, the experience with the roll off truck will hamper your tractor trailer experience.
ANY experience driving commercial vehicles when not crossing at least 3 state lines every week (or every day) is not considered as experience for OTR companies.
You could have 10 years experience OTR and take a local job and the extensive experience will not count later (say a year+ with some companies) should you want to go back to OTR.
As far as information on pay and things, you're best to discover these from the offer of the company as locations and D. O. E. (depending on experience) determine what pay and things may be offered.

I'm glad someone here has been offered something in the driving arena and I hope for you it works out well!!

BFI roll-off drivers make alot of money. They used to make a certain amount for every drop. I don't know what the rate is now. I'm sure it's very good. It's definately worth checking into.

I work for Republic who brought Allied waste/BFI. I didn't know they pay a load rate for roll-off. They pay a percentage rate on semi transfer drivers. As far as I know we get paid by the hour for roll-off and commercial. On the same token if you live in Florida things are different in the south. I wanted to transfer from Chicago to North Carolina. They told me I'll get paid by the route,usually average like $12 a hour. I wasn't interesting in that transfer after hearing that. I wonder why their so many opening for roll-off and commercial in the south,HHHHMMMMM. Mildew not saying you wrong,but here in Illinois they get paid by the hour. If anyone can give more info about the wages in their state or cities,i'm interested in knowing.
