GLS Freight

 

Given the current freight market -- that Schneider position posted above will likely be tough to beat; it's all drop-n-hook...been there, done that. Not really hard work. Good practice with both backing & swapping out trailers -- that practice will come in super-handy with later CDL gigs.

Here's another one you really oughta check out (if you haven't already) -- they take rookies, & it's good $$$$$$$.....but it's HAAAAARRRRDDD WORK:

Sysco -- home-daily driver -- Santa Rosa, CA

Here's another you might check out (if you haven't already)....sez 6 months experience preferred (but not necessarily req'd):

H & H Recruiting -- home daily CDL driver -- Windsor, CA

-- L

 

I posted in the wrong thread.

 

Does the new job have to be no-touch freight?

 

Redding Lumber Transport

I spoke with these guys years ago and they seemed great. I ended up going to a company that I thought would never take me (trying to lease on, pulling flat with zero open deck experince)

From my understanding you'd never be too far from home.

 

Try food service or even pepsi or coca cola…

 

RLT is a good outfit but they run primarily the I-5 corridor. The OP wants something where he's home more than once a week. He lives so far off route that he might not get home very often.

 

If I were in California, and in your shoes, I'd probably look at Pride Transport for OTR. I think that would be a good short term option for you. You gotta get some experience and miles under your belt if you wanna get back to the LTL sector. I get that you don't want to be away from home much, but you have to bend some to accomplish a long term goal. If you can sacrifice 1 year, it'll do wonders for you for the next 20 years.
