    I'm currently employed with a regional OTR flatbed company. I have about two months experience.

    If anyone knows of anything local in the Greensboro NC area that would take on a driver with limited experience, please let me know.

    I can't stand being away from my wife and 5 yo child much longer.

    Thanks

    Try your local Hardware stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot. They run trucks for delivery.

    Try food service; some require only a cdl permit and don't need any experience. Looks like you're more than qualified.
    Websites aren't always kept up to date so ignore "experience required."

    There was a post last week by a driver with only a permit that Sygma Network hired him.

    Temp services may have some local.
    CDL Truckstop
    TransForce Inc.
    Kelly Services
    ProDrivers
    Centerline Drivers
    TopGearLogistics

    Sometimes with temp services if a company likes your work they buy the contract from the temp service and give you a full time job.

    I am supposed to get home today (Friday) and interview with a local lumber company but it looks like I'll be in Georgia and won't be back in time for the interview.

    If I quit and then go job hunting, I'm terrified I won't find anything.

    If I stay, I'm afraid I won't be able to interview due to being on the road all the time.

    Catch 22

    As a food service veteran, I can tell you that the drivers do 12 to 14 hr days and it is very physical. I am not saying that is a bad thing by any stretch but be prepared. You would be delivering up and down stairs with a hand truck. Good pay but know what you are getting into. Good luck!

    I went with flatbed to stay a little physical.

    It's not quite as physically demanding as what I thought it would be: pulling bungees, throwing straps, rolling tarps.

    I'd enjoy pushing food or drinks around. Break up the day.
