    Hey which companies have you home maybe once or twice a week and weekends? Or maybe out a day or 2 or 3 at a time? Based out of Atl @Chinatown

    Did you graduate from cdl school?
    Do you have endorsements?
    I remember a while back you were looking at food service; no luck there?
     
    authentic251 Thanks this.

    Haven't started school yet. Will have endorsements when I'm done and foodservice is still on the table but just need other options in case it doesn't work out. This route seems closer to the traditional over the role program so my logic is it might be a little easier to get started there over Foodservice.

    You won't have to go over-the-road, unless you want the experience. Some of us like OTR and don't want to stay in one place long enough for moss to grow on us. I never got tired of over-the-road, but that's me and not for everyone.
    Many new cdl grads find great jobs by applying for places they may think won't hire them.
    I'll check through my notes for something local in your area; food service is the best pay though.

    Lily Transportation seems like a good outfit. The website has "1 yr. experience preferred", but don't let that stop you. I encouraged a couple of new grads on here to apply there anyway, and they were hired.
    Even if they offer you an OTR position, it might be worth accepting, then in six months ask for a local position.
