    Im a current Otr driver closing in on 1yr exp and i want to find a good local paying job. I just wanted to know how to find good local jobs outside of the big ltl companies because i have a dui thats 4yrs old.

    I stay in Jacksonville, fl but would move to Atlanta if i can get something good there

    Why not go ahead and apply to all the big LTL's? Better for them to tell you "no" then to think you will be told "no".

    That is a super tough one. Lack of experience can always be waved by the TM if he/she needs bodies. Almost all LTL carriers will not hire you for anything other than dock if you had a DUI in the past five years.

    As for the OPs question, I would start looking into Craig's list under Transport jobs. Also familiarize yourself with what local outfits cover your area. Example: roll on dumpster, lumber yards, gravel/sand haulers. Right now is the worst time to apply for anything local since construction and overall freight is slowing down. Best time to look is early March
