    Took a break since April 2021, and now my experience isn't recent enough for the few companies hiring out of Tucson, AZ (close to 4 yrs experience since 2016). Never thought I'd have this much trouble finding decent paying work. Even considered OTR and having trouble there. Is it the market or is it me? Advice appreciated..

    Probably some of both.

    The overall freight market is indeed down of late, & so carriers are getting more picky. :(

    What endorsements (if any) do you have?

    Any accidents/citations?

    Criminal history?

    What type trucking do you want/prefer?
    You're good for plenty of companies.
    Do you have endorsements?

    Have d/t and tank endorsements. Let my hazmat lapse but already got the email from tsa for fingerprinting, just waiting for mvd to give me the green light for test. No criminal history. I do have a minor accident in my personal vehicle in '21 . Cited for improper left turn. Nothing in a commercial vehicle

    Preferably dry van or tanker as that's where I have experience. I also have pneumatic tanker experience but that's not top of my list
