Very difficult to get a local job without any OTR experience. As a driver , you need to be able to handle any situation that comes up while driving in a city. You may have to settle for a OTR job that has you out 5 days and back home for your reset. Maybe do that for 4 - 6 months before even attempting to look for a local job . Even then, many local - home nightly jobs want you to have at least 1 year OTR experience

 

Look at LTL companies in your area most have dock to driver programs. You come in as a dock work and get CDL training then you become a full time driver.

 

Just be aware - it is not uncommon for trucking companies to try and change your routes and time out once they get you in the door . The ad might say home weekly , but they actually want you out longer

 

Well, your off to good start. The last thing you want is to be beholding to a company.

 

Lots of companies with visit your school , tell them what your looking for.
