I can’t drive for six months, are there any certifications I can study for that would help make me a more desirable driver? I have experience with otr, regional, and LTL line haul. I have spent too many years running out my 70 so I would like to work less hours even if the pay is a little less. Just wondering if there is anything in like construction or hazmat or something where if you combine some education with a cdl you can earn an ok salary working closer to forty hours a week? Thanks.

Yeah, definitely worth looking into. Hazmat/tanker endorsements are probably the biggest upgrade for a CDL if you want better-paying local work with more normal hours. TWIC and OSHA certs can help too, especially around ports, construction, or industrial jobs.
