PT Need Extra $500/mo.- possible?

Can try local school bus also, lots of exrtra school activities that need drivers. Just another option!

 

Uber is quite worth doing when you're in between jobs

 

Are you sure you still have a valid cdl? If you've had it for a while and haven't updated your medical card and haven't self certified you may find your cdl is no longer valid. Some states are a bigger pain about it than others, not sure about Texas.

I used to work for a local expedited company that had part time work to fit my schedule while I was going to college. We had anything from semis to sprinter vans, running semis for them paid my way through college. Worth looking into.

 

I tried to do exactly what you're wanting to do when I was transitioning from white collar work (I wanted to keep that salary as long as possible). What I found is that the only part-time CDL jobs were either day hours...or "On-Call." I think you're going to have some difficulty finding a company that will be willing to overlook: 1. Your availability, 2. Lack of experience, and 3. The fact that their company is not REALLY going to be a big priority to you. It's just an extra paycheck.

I got a part-time job at Lowe's for a bit while I was an office drone. I did 40 hours in the office and 20-30 hours at Lowe's. I got an extra $500+/month out of that. The hours got to me after a few months though. 0800-1700 in the office and 1730-2300 at the store got real old real quick. The extra money was nice though.

It's a tough call making that jump from a salaried job to an hourly gig. Especially taking a leap and going to a completely different field. As they say...sometimes you've just got to "S*** or get off the pot."

p.s. As marineman227 pointed out...if it's been a while since you got your CDL...I'm betting that your medical card is expired.
