    The best way to make good money is OTR

    Put your location on your profile so we know the hiring area you live in.
    How old are you; 21, 22, 23 or more?
    Do you have endorsements?

    Which town are you near?
    Navajo Express has some dedicated stuff up through there pulling doubles.
    There's some dry bulk tanker jobs also, unless you want OTR.

    It will take at least a year before you start making good money.You'll need to get the exp then you can move on to better companies.I would suggest doing your best to keep your CDL clean and whatever company you choose try and stick with them for at least a year.So it's best do really shop around for your first company because there's many bad companies.Then of course the more endorsements you have the more valuable you are.

    That's a pretty well regurgitated lie CDL mills sell people on.

    There's local jobs for new grads. It's a myth you must go OTR first. Much depends on where you live though.
