    I have searched around but haven't seen another. I don't have wia money yet but did get an OJT voucher today from Career link here in Pa.
    I'm hoping that can help my cause.

    That is how most UPS drivers start as well. Work the docks or holidays part time. And eventually move into a truck. Takes time but the pay in the long run is well worth it.
    You can drive OTR for 4 years making 30-50 a year. Or do maybe a year on a dock and then start driving at 40. And go up fast from there.
    I am just a little old now to work docks for a year or more if needed. And been driving too long to do it now.
    But if you are younger it is a great way to come into the field. You will learn more about logistics in a few years that way than many drivers do in a decade.

    Thanks Dome I'm actually 48 but a little work isn't a problem. I came from homebuilding I can frame or raise barns all day still.
    I will look into UPS also.
    Totally old school thanks again.
