  1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

Any local work in Southern California?

    I am throwing around the idea of finally moving to the LA or San Diego area (I has been my dream for the last few years.) However I need to find a job first. I have been scouring craigslist for the last two weeks to no avial. Can anyone help out? I don't have hazmat or tanker.

    Some local companies in So.Cal. Osterkamp, Pomona... CPS express, Mira Loma....Palmer, Ontario.... Ashley furniture, Colton.... Gardner, Chino...... plus tons of aggregate haulers. The above mentioned do regional and you be home fairly often. Palmer is not Jim Palmer, but a furniture operation that delivers furniture to retail stores. Sunset Pacific out of Chino runs back to Carolina(dry van). DOT Line out of Vernon runs east and KKW out of Pomona runs western states. National Freight out of Vineland, N.J. (NFI) has a yard in Corona for local stuff. Doudell runs between Ca./Az. Lots of harbor/rail stuff too. Speaky Spanish?

    OK, OK, Allow Me to help you out here. There was a used "roach coach" for sale in a storage place on the north side of I-40 going westbound at the I-15 junction east of Barstow, Ca. for quite a few years. Haven't been through there in awhile so it may be gone. But, if you could buy it, you could just hire on a cook and prepare some greasy taco grub and sell sodas and probably get rich quick. Set up on Alameda south of the I-10 in L.A.

    Chris,

    I noticed on your other post you are looking for a company driver too? I would be interested in that since I don't own a truck. Only problem is I can not go into Canada. I have 3 years experience driving for a two small companies in Chicago. Both was out to California with a reefer. Let me know if this could work out. Thanks
