<p>[QUOTE="Metalicious, post: 12385007, member: 171053"]Best advice I can give you being green, don't think you are worth more than you are. If you have 0 miles experience, you will probably be paid for that experience. Isn't what you will stay at forever, no doubt, but if you think you are going to be any shade of rich, you're entering the wrong profession. If you find a good hourly home daily gig, or any really that you like the pay, stick with it, even when it sucks (at times any job is going to suck balls), until you get enough experience to gainfully go elsewhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would look into LTL companies as suggested by others, maybe a job delivering for a soda or beer company, food distribution. I never cared for any of those myself, but flourished in hauling equipment. Most of them may want more experience than you will have, though. Hauling equipment, for like united rentals or one of the other big rental companies most of them I know will teach you to haul, just not drive usually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
