This one will not be home daily -- but is still a great place to learn how to drive a big rig; I've recently seen them looking for drivers as far away as South Carolina:

For an Iowa-based driver -- if you think you are up for a real challenge....you might consider flatbed duty.
If that is of interest to you -- a no-brainer place for you to start would be with TMC (their home office is in Des Moines). With them -- you would drive some of the best-looking equipment on the road.
You can check 'em out at:
TMC -- hires & trains new CDL holders -- home weekly

Hello fellas..I have a question..I've secured a position with a company..ive been training for 4 weeks..I go on my own next week..I feel pretty comfortable being on my own..the one thing I'm having issues with is sometimes downshifting to a lower gear ..especially going from 6th to 5th..or downshifting when I'm about to make a turn in lower gears..I'm good downshifting in higher gears..It's frustrating to me..ive watched YouTube videos made by experienced truckers..I'd like to experiment and try things but it's kinda hard to do with a trainer sitting right beside me..any advice..thanks guys
