No OTR only interested in Local with weekends off

Gate Gourmet might be Class-B job.

 

Not aure with whats available around you but you might want to look into some companies that have straight trucks and tractor trailers. You might luck up alot quicker get your expierience and still be home

 

Who the hell does? OTR is one of the worst ####ing things I could imagine myself doing. But OTR is to trucking what boot camp is to the military.

 

There are tons of grocery distributors in that area. Off the top of my head, Sysco has a yard in Jersey City; A and B work. Good luck. I'd expect long hard hours and mediocre pay.

 

Sheesh, I had to go back and read your original post to remember what your question was, after all the BS and put downs on here.
Aryi, there are so many different types of driving jobs, that you are most likely to find something that suits you. But it may take some time.
I can't tell you what is average for a local driver in your area, since I likely don't know anything about your area. But you ask about what kind of local jobs there are, so let me get on with it.
First off, you have local jobs such as trash/garbage collection. Not at all glamorous, but pays pretty well.
Then there are the food and beverage distributors. These are very high physical work positions, but again, they can pay pretty well.
There are aggregate companies that will hire newbie drivers. You may be hauling anything from pre-mix concrete to hot mix asphalt, to different types of sand and gravel. You might also be getting in some experience with a shovel or other manual labor tool. But then again you might be getting into other types of equipment, such as front end loaders, etc. This type of job, is likely the easiest to get into, but the hours are long, the pay usually isn't all that great, and you are subject to seasonal or weather layoffs.
Along the same lines, there are state, county and local road departments that hire drivers. These jobs, while again, not very glamorous, will be pretty secure, (as much as anything is now days,) and have good benefits.
Then there are the supply delivery outfits, such as contractor's supplies, ie building materials, HVAC, etc that need drivers. Again, long hours, and likely low pay.
Keep your eyes open when you are out and about. Start looking at what you are seeing on the streets and roads where you live. Look at the types of trucks you see. You see something interesting, then look into it further.
FWIW, I don't think you were at all out of line with your questions. We all had to start somewhere.
Good luck, your job is out there, if you can just find it!

 

Driving long haul is hardly equivalent to boot camp. That would imply there is something else coming in a natural progression.

 

Well I did it backward then. Started local with 2 companies and now otr -_-

 

Me too do t feel bad
