    Have you applied to any of the LTL companies in your area? A good portion of them will take drivers without any experience.

    Check nfi, ffe, ruan, rohel... They all have local and regional spots in Illinois area.... also look around on the web... alot of companies us like monster and the other job sites to advertise for jobs in certain areas.

    I have not applied to ltl companines because i am assuming that means doubles and triples but if thats what i need to get a local spot then I will study hard and get my doubles and triples.

    You may want to try various soda companies as Coca-Cola, 7-UP, etc..

    Also, you may want to try various beer companies as Budweiser, Anhauser-Busch, Heinekin, etc..

    Any LTL common carrier ....
    Let them know you are willing to load trucks for awhile but you also have a CDL ,that you would like to use eventually ....you can make a buck working the dock with most LTL companies ,they will most likely let you run a yd dog which is great pactice for your backing anyway ....be persistent in following up with your applications ,get a fork lift license also for this job ....(example) a forklift driver at one of these LTL companies makes at the very least 14.00 an hour it's not the best rate but this will get foot in the door ,drivers make at the very least 17.00 an hour and top out around 24.00 an hour and the best part is ....home daily with wife and babies or just having a normal life
