    What is the job market like in trucking? What are the best places in the country to drive? Is it hard to get a job?

    You're still not driving trucks?
    Easy to get a trucking job. Even easier if you have all the endorsements and attended a halfway decent cdl school.

    Lol, in my little 1 year of driving, I've never heard of one driver that say that they like the Northeast.

    I'm also OK with the Northeast, as long as I don't have to go there!

    Manhattan on a weekday morning during rush, which is 6 AM to midnight.

    Anywhere in NYC on a Friday afternoon.

    Chicago during rush hour.

    Atlanta, any time.

    Washington, D.C., during a protest.

    Anywhere that puts you in the middle of a parking lot on Black Friday to deliver.

    The industry is very slow right now. Hiring is slower than normal. DO NOT GO TO CDL SCHOOL UNTIL YOU FIND A COMPANY TO HIRE YOU.
