    Just got my CDL A. Not exactly sure where to begin. Been practicing till I figure out what my best options are. I'm 25 and don't really have guidance... Any strong knowledge would be great!!

    My apologies am from Massachusetts. I know I'm inexperienced still, so just trying to gather up some knowledge on my best options on where I should begin. OTR is fine. I can do my year and then some if needed.

    Try a google search. Flatbed trucking jobs and your zip code. Might stumble upon something good.
