I would hazard a guess that it’s your lack of experience that is the reason companies won’t hire you for part time positions.
2 of the three companies I worked for had what they called “casual drivers” who did a load or two a month.
However these were former full-time OTR guys who had years of experience.
I doubt they would consider a rookie for a part time position.
Also there is the training aspect. How would you become proficient training only a few days here and there?
I had to live in my trainers truck for a month and half during training. -
The thing is the OP got his class A, but never got further training if I’m reading his post right.
OP needs training or he is going to get in serious trouble out on the road and possibly hurt someone.
just getting a “CDL A” is insufficient to getting a job.
unfortunately getting training is going to be difficult while he still has the responsibilities of his full time job. I don’t have answers for that.tscottme Thanks this. -

work off duty in uniform as security at ballgames , bank lobbys, malls, racetracks , concerts , movie sets etc etc .
their department arranges the OT , sets the minimum hourly rate , and sends an officer.
that’s the easy money , make OT for standing around with a stern face. -
I just want to expand my skill set. I enjoy learning new things.
Oh I have done plenty of overtime. But it's pretty crappy when you're one of the two cops for a city of about 60,000. A week or so ago I was literally by myself for a few hours. I work in a high crime city as well. I'm not going to voluntarily sign up for overtime for a bit, I'm getting too stressed with it.
The more overtime, the more reports, more court subpoenas (which suck after working overnight for 12hrs btw). Lol -
