Part-time job

Looking for some advice....

I have a good full time job working in an office. But I've wanted to drive truck since I was a kid. I went out and got my CDL a couple of years ago, but haven't done anything with it yet. It just doesn't make sense to leave my job.

My question... is there anything I could do part-time, in the afternoon or on weekends, where I could spend some time on the road in a truck? The problem is that I basically have zero experience, other than driving a straight truck for a few years after high school. I've seen a few part time jobs posted but they all want experienced drivers.

I don't really care what it is. I'd be OK with driving a switcher if it means I can get some time in a big rig. Maybe I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too, but it's what I want to do. Any ideas out there?

 

Update: 3 years and 9 months after I posted this, and 6 years after getting my CDL with a rental truck, I finally got my chance to do some part time driving this week. Pulling a hopper trailer for a local farmer. It took a family connection to make it happen. Had pretty much given up on the idea of ever using it, and I really don't think it would have ever happened from applying cold anywhere. Companies just don't have any use for drivers without experience. Needless to say, it feels good to finally spend some time behind the wheel, even though it isn't much!

 

Hauled corn to an ethanol plant about 5 miles down the road, over and over. About as simple as a run can be, not even a curve in the road. Didn't have any suspension gauges, and sure enough when I got to the plant I scaled in at 81,000 or so each time, 1,000 lbs over. I definitely kept a ton of following distance. Not that I could have tailgated anyone if I wanted to when I was loaded. I would have had to really push it to get close to anyone, and it wasn't a busy road. Overall, a great way to get my feet wet.
