$45K/yr local and home every night...

If you have a wife that you want to keep happy you really should look at doing something other than driving.When I was a kid I wanted to do a lot of things then I grew up. Just sayin.

 

Yes. If you want to keep your wife happy, you should drive over the road and send me her picture, phone number and address.

Actually, that would make my wife happy.

 

there are jobs out there but gonna be hard to find with no experience. try vendors, coke, pepsi, budweiser stuff like that. you might be able to find something but 45k might be a little high to start.

 

Depends on where you are at. I work for a major LTL Freight carrier. We just hired 8 new drivers in the last 60 days. Even the lowest seniority guy will make 60k +. Lots of LTL openings in my area.

 

He's right on, vendors is your best shot; coke, Pepsi, 7up, Budweiser, etc.

I got hired on at coke with no training and a new cdl. I work day shift Monday through Friday, home everyday by 3 or 4, great benefits and making about 40k a year starting out.

So yes, it's possible, look at vendors.

You can easily make over 50 grand a year with any decent LTL carrier Period > You will be home daily or nightly which ever shift you work, may be working more than 8 hrs. a day but the opportunities are there . Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

 

this is not correct, when i first started driving it was local, no ort experience, in fact just talked to a guy the other day in texas, believe he said he lived in kenyucky, but not sure, he was telling me he's been wanting to get off the road to be with his family, and applied for a local job, when they talkedc to him they said that he'd been better off if he had no otr experience

 

All the LTL drivers are telling you the truth, not sure if ABS Freight is still training drivers, i know that they were doing that a few years ago. don't even think about the road and more so if your wife already spoke her piece, the road is not what it used to be in the past, it's not worth it. good luck............

 

Apply at every LTL company within your home area. Dont be overly concerned about the experience issue. Most times getting on with an LTL carrier is a matter of Right place at the Right time, not how many miles or years experience. Make sure you highlite your military experience, you earned it so use it.
