    Been a couple months since I posted here as I quit my over the road job about three months ago.
    I want to transition into something local or part time OTR. When I say part time OTR I do actually mean very part time. LOL not looking to spend 30 to 60 days at a time out on the road again.

    I’ve got a clean driving record, no tickets, no incidents etc. just want / need to be home more.

    Where are the best websites to look for local jobs? I know where to look for OTR jobs, but local seems to be a little more complicated. I mean I know there’s craigslist and the usual websites but are some of them better than others?

    Where is your location? Maybe some drivers on here live in the area and can give job leads.

    I live in Raleigh, NC now.
    I wouldn’t even mind like a week on week off jump seat gig for OTR. But would prefer local.

    Have you considered a temp service. Some even have benefits. I worked for one for awhile and it was a good deal. You can choose when you want to work and what types of driving jobs you want. Changing companies is not job hopping because you work for the staffing agency and are paid by the staffing agency.
    Check with Trillium.

    Try concrete, beverage, and cryo companies in your area. Its solid labor at a beverage company. But you will be home every night.
