    I went to KLLM driving academy. Got my CDL A with hazmat and tanker. Did OTR for them for 6 months. Had to quit to take care of my kids because their mother went to prison. Where should I start looking for something that will get me home daily or weekly with only 6 months OTR? Don't wanna leave my kids too long without their mother taking care of them. I live in Shawnee, OK. Not too far from OKC.

    You have to try a local job. You have to do what is best for your children whether it is driving or not. I hope all goes well for you. Life happens and we have to roll with it,

    Check out Craigslist, indeed, food service companies, beverage distributors (pepsi/coke/beer), trash haulers, dump trucks, ready mix concrete haulers, and even fuel haulers such as propane and gasoline.

    Paging @Chinatown.
     
    QuietStorm and Kevin247 Thank this.

    I recently applied to a couple of those. Coke and Pepsi. I'll start looking into those others you listed also. Thanks

    Kevin get out there and start contacting your the LTL outfits nearby. There are all kinds of local driving jobs available, so don't limit yourself to trucking companies. Many other driving jobs are available, from trash pickup, to dump trucks. But as you know, driving means long hours at work, and little time at home.
    Good luck man and keep us posted.
     
    Sho Nuff, Kevin247 and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    @d o g or @MACK E-6 .... can you merge his two threads?!? This guy really needs the assistance we may can give him, but he double threaded. Just my suggestion, thanks!
