    Roadtex has a little local stuff. Also has some dedicated lanes. One driver said he just runs to the Caroina's and back

    Apply and find out. Many companies accept points and traffic tickets and even a wreck or two.

    Check this company; think there's a terminal in New Jersey; maybe Burlington.

    Beverage company driving is local and the pay is good.
    Will a job like beverage interest you?
    If so, try -> www.unionbeerjobs.com - I've seen their ads in New Jersey.

    That might be tough. I'm usually the guy going to bat for guys with tickets in here but 9 points is A LOT!. I'm not saying don't start trying but expect some push back. I would honestly look at dump truck work for a lil bit until things cool off.

    Not to be a Debbie Downer. But right now is positively the absolute unfavorable time to look for a new driving job. Most barns don't start hiring until Spring due to everything slowing down with the Holidays coming up and construction coming to a halt in areas that anticipate snow.

    I am down in the south and we had multiple layoffs. My hours are also cut down to bare minimum. I'd say look for some seasonal work with UPS as they try to deal with their holiday rush.
