Greetings,
Got my CDL-A privately, with all endorsements, including Hazmat. Late 50's, looking to get the heck out of my current office job which I'm on for more years than I am willing to count.
I know I can call Prime ....but there are few things that hold me back, chief among them is spending 3-4 months in a truck with someone I don't know. I know I need training, but Prime's training is really not for me. I am not a kid anymore and I am looking for other options. I prefer local driving as well over being out on the road for weeks even if it means less pay.
I am in the Greenville SC area.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
CDL-A with all endorsements, zero experience, looking for options

Look into dry bulk companies, sometimes they have training. Find a cement plant or a redi-mix plant and sit there for a day and take numbers. It's somewhat active work and can be dirty.

Also, look into the LTL companies with docks nearby, some have dock-to-driver programs. Fedex Freight, Yellow, Old Dominion, Estes, T Force, XPO.
Since you're new to trucking, keep in mind that all trucking companies suck. Especially family-owned companies, unless you like working for a smug entitled silver-spoon kid that goes home early.
Here's a craigslist search set up the way I do it, check Bundle Duplicates and filter out doordash, OTR, and family companies...
greenville transportation "-family -OTR -Doordash -doordash" jobs -...
For anyone else, here's what I paste in the CL search bar...
