Do one year at one job. Shows you're stable.
I disagree with dry van being at the bottom. I put reefer at the bottom. Entire time I did reefer, I was overtired. I wasn't worth a darn. Night day night day all the time.
One that is seemingly always hiring is Pilot fuel hauling. It's easier than most Hazmat. Haul the same thing constantly. Pay by the hour. So you don''t have to worry about sitting at the terminal to load up. Just under $100k/yr. Little overtime puts you over 100. Home everyday. Local.

I wish I was near a terminal.
