Home every day.
Hiring new cdl school grads.

 

Very good. Go beat the bushes and get you a local job.

“But Six, these places require experience to get a driving job.”

They may not be able to hire you off the street as a driver, but they can hire you for the warehouse and train you as a driver. You just need to get your foot in the door with that company. I went to the DMV took the written test and applied for a job at a beer distributor in the warehouse. I worked the warehouse 1 month and got my CDLs. My kid sister took a job loading planes for FedEx, applied to the local community college for her CDL, and FedEx took care of the rest.

 

If you have to be home at a certain time or home on certain days, it may be a problem as a truck driver .

99.9% of trucking companies don’t give a tinkers dam about you or your home life.

they expect You to basically be their slave for weeks at a time .
Spending 70-80 hours or more a week working for them and actually getting paid for about 40 hours.

 

Just an FYI, a cdl is easier than getting a taxi medallion.


A lot easier

 

You don't even have to speak English!
