Local driving jobs

That's highly variable, depending on region and the segment of the industry that will hire you. Just assume you'll be running somewhere in between your maximum HOS, to sitting at home for days waiting for your phone to ring for a call-out. At this stage of your career, with no experience, you really won't be able to be as choosy with a local gig as a more seasoned driver can be. I suggest taking whatever you can, stick it out for a while, and eventually move on to something else if what you're doing isn't working long term.

 

Depends on what you're doing.
I haul local tanker, gas hauler, and I pull between 50 and 65 hours a week.
There's gigs that you don't work at much, but they also don't pay as much.
Figure out what you're wanting, and then figure out how to make it happen.
Beverage companies, some fuel haulers, ltl, even a few chemical tanker companies will hire grads.
Expect to start on nights.
Expect the first year to suck.
You'll live. Get through it. We all did. You can too.
Don't jump jobs. Embrace the suck, and pay your dues. I promise you'll be better for the experience.
Learn. Earn. Grow.
You got this.

70 a week is normal, if you have hours available most will try to get you to work one of your days off, so its easy, make sure you turn in close to 14 a day.. What state are you in, suggestions will help more witha little extra info.

 

I'm from just North of Nashville, a few miles from the Kentucky state line off I-65.

 

So, which town are you from or near?
Are you in Bowling Green or where?

 

Performance Foodservice usually wants 12 months experience, but sometimes hires for a trainee program right out of cdl school. I check there and ask if the driver trainee program is available.
