    Hello. I just got to two years of otr. I started with Prime inc ( never again ) and went to a decent company for another year. I want to take my time looking for the right company driver job now that I have the experience. I live near Chicago. What's out there? Thx

    • What CDL endorsements do you now have (if any)?
    • In what type(s) of freight are you most interested?
    • How much home time do you want/need? Daily? Weekly? Less? How much less?
    • Any accidents/incidents/citations in the last 3 years (in your personal vehicle -- or not)?

    Where exactly “near Chicago”? That makes a huge difference in suggestions, because if you live in Waukegan, something in University Park isn’t going to work.

    For local only -- & with only a tanker endorsement -- your options will likely be pretty limited.

    Especially given the current sluggish overall freight market.
