CDL A Grad Need advice.

@Chinatown can possibly help you. He will check in at some point. Honestly, local work can be difficult to obtain for someone with no experience. It isn't impossible, but does take some luck. Majority of new CDL holders have to get some experience by going on the road for at least a year. Many local gigs prefer experience, but as a new driver, you'll have to be open to that possibility of going out on the road, and circling back to local once you've gained experience.

Let me tell you, the reality of a lot of those horror stories come from drivers with entitled, bad attitudes. Many of those drivers have a hard time making any company work. Trucking is contingent on what you put into it. That will be the only thing that determines your experience. Regional will do you good living in Jersey.

 

Just because a company is large doesn't mean it's a bad company.
The worst experience in my cdl driving was with a small mom & pop company.
