Looking for local work while OTR-tips?

Moving companies often hire drivers with little or no experience to do local work. You have to do the packing and loading though too.

 

the problem with temp companies is that there are so many drivers now. it's unreal. it's not even worth the time to apply.

i applied at 2 companies last year. hoping to kill some time since my construction job came to a halt real early last year. 4 months later. i only got one call. and it happened to be right after i got off work that one and had to work the next day.

not one call while i was sitting around sucking my thumb.

 

The larger the city and market area, the easier it will be to get a local gig!

 

Try pro build hauling lumber. I have a friend the works at the one in charleston. I believe they are based out of denver. He started out as a driver and now runs operations, seems like a good company and promote from with in. They have small and big trucks. I recently filled out an app for them my self. Also smaller route sales, right now I gaurnetee ice venders are hiring, not sure how it is there in the summer but sure ice sells it sells itself when its hot. It is only seasonal but will get you home through the summer so you can line something up. Selling ice pays well too I would bring home over a $1000 a week after taxes but we have beaches here. But man I bet it sells there to I'm sure there are lakes and boats and campgrounds, construction sites and gas stations. It is a little labor intensive but throwing that ice u will be in good shape. That is probably your best bet, thay also have small and big trucks and you are paid by the amount of ice you sell but there is no selling to it just look in the box if it needs ice you fill it up. I promise you will make more than you are on the road woth set days off, benefits, and good pay. See if you have reddy ice there.
