Hello all. I'm looking to get back on the road. I haven't drove since 2019 after getting laid off. Was gonna get a good trucking gig in 2020, than the panademic came up and it never went forward. Since last year till now i've been working in the warehouse and literally can't stand it. I'm looking to stay local and I have two companies in mind. Wondering if anybody could give me some information on them. The first one would be forward air. Starting pay would be $30/hour, local. Second option would be prairie farms. Not sure on the pay, but I'd be delivering milk in either a class A or class B truck. mixture of both is what it sounds like.
If anybody has information on either companies it would be awesome to know. Thanks in advance!

What do you think about Old Dominion Freight Line?

I've looked into them. I would be interested since they are part of the same union I am with currently at my company. Only downfall is I don't have any of my endorsements. Willing to get them. Just waiting to see what my schedule is gonna be like for peak season.Rideandrepair and Chinatown Thank this.
