You'll also want that few months of training common carriers offer following trucking school. However, a lot of those common carriers HAVE regional in California. You'd be home weekends. They'll probably make you train OTR, but after that you can transfer to a regional position. Big companies are a pain. You'll feel threatened, and small working somewhere where you have a contract and are just one of a thousand+ drivers. Just put in your time, after two years you can get really picky with what kind of job you want in the trucking industry. Want to work 3 long days, make $800 and have 4 days off? You'll get it. Want to be home everyday with weekends off? You'll get it. Just get 2 years of experience first.
