I started my carrier at HO 32 years ago , Herb the owner just died at I believe 100, then it was sold to Bison out of Canada.
They do things way different than anyone I ever worked for , they run off size tires etc and used to take a dry van and make a reefer out of it with there Amish mechanics.
There checks were always good , they used to make us run us30. To the east coast no tolls , I went to diesel driving school , Sun Prairie , Wi it was 14 weeks long and you lived there , HO hired me there and I went right to work no trainer , first load Pensauken, NJ SCARED TO DEATH

Look at UPS Freight, Old Dominion, Fedex Freight, Estes, Reddaway, YRC, etc, they are LTL carriers. Often they have entry-level Dock positions and if you work out they have a Dock-to-driver program. Most positions home every day and the first ones on that list pay better than most OTR.

UPS Freight does start low and take years to reach good pay, but then is one of the highest. So they might not be the best if you need cash now.

There are also smaller regionals with their own quirks, like DATS, DHE, Oak Harbor, and MVE. They pay less and will likely have older equipment.

If you already had a year of driving any commercial vehicle you could work for a Fedex Ground contractor for somewhat less money but easier entry.

There is a forum for local work here... LTL and Local Delivery Trucking Forum

 

You have very valid concerns. There are good jobs out there just not all the ones you see advertised. 50k will be easy, I am on track to be just under 100k and I just started this job (I did have some experience tho, just want to be honest) and I work long days but I'm home almost every night day and if I'm not they put me up in a nice hotel. I love my job, I love the trucking industry too but you gotta be on the right side of it. I left trucking for two years, one to go fishing and one to go work in a race car fab shop and I came back to it. Trucking (otr) is a aging group so you are gonna have the "well back when" pissing and moaning all the time, just ignore it. You will learn to sniff out when someone is just a miserable old piece of crap who wants to bring you down because of the bad choices they all made. They always tell the stories of 150k a year in the 70's, well okay buddy why are you crying about rates at 68 years old now, you should be sitting at home not having to worry about this crap. The other pack of negative people you get are the super young crowd who don't want to be a truck driver, they just want a job that promised all kinds of money but they have to live in a rolling jail cell for free now. Truck driving is a lifestyle, not a job. It doesn't matter is you are a otr guy, dump trucker, local guy, heavy haul, etc, you have to want to do it and you can make a lot of money if you have the right attitude. I have and hour and fifteen minutes before my 10 is up and can't wait to get back out on the road again. Sorry for the long post but I can see the negativity was getting to you and wanted to give you a little point of view from someone who doesn't hate their life and job. What you want is out there but you aren't gonna find it from a Google ad or a recruiter calling you.

 

Sage advice, and well-spoken, appreciate great advice.....I was hoping to avoid the pitfalls that everyone seems to be destiedn for of "hey im new, its the nature of the beast, gotta be a man, pay your dues, live like a bankrupt beggar for a year and then MAYBE you can start earning a livable wage"......i just fele there HAS to be a better truckign path.....just can;t put my finger on it, thanks man!

 

thanks sir!
