    When I was "out of practice," and going back to driving, I applied at Milky Way (Lynden Transport). They tried heavily to recruit me to team at their other company, Brown Lines. They'll probably shoot you the same pitch to gain experience.

    If you live near the ports, go for the cans. Especially if it's hourly. Consistent, year-round work and going home at night's a good deal. Maybe even get one of those lives I hear non-OTR people have...
