    How about High Steel in Lancaster. Unless i’m wrong that would be a union job too.

    With a true shortage in construction, you should consider that.

    I'm young, without a family, and its always been something I wanted to try. Also the pay is better than anything else I can get into right now

    You have nothing to lose. If you end up not liking otr there is plenty of stuff you can do local for basically the same pay and if you don’t like that you can get a construction job or something that requires a cdl but your primary job isn’t driving. Annnnd if you don’t like that you already made back your money you paid for cdl school so it’s no bid deal.
     
    Dan.S Thanks this.

    Start submitting applications.
    You can also try Carolina Logistics - www.carolinalogistics.net - I think all they pull are dry vans, but whatever it takes to get started.
