    All them people have to eat and buy stuff somehow. I would work a local job that paid according to the cost of living there. Maybe a LTL job.

    I doubt one could live there on OTR pay.

    I work for Conway freight in the city. You could try applying for one of the driver apprentice programs at one of the terminals.

    Or try Baldor. Its like a food delivery company. Alot of guys at my job work there on weekends so it has to be decent.

    Id highly suggest you not get your CDL in the city. Go to Jersey or hell get it in Florida.

    No they didnt. DHL quit shipping domestic freight and only does international now. 85% of the union employees lost their jobs. DHL would be one of the last jobs Id apply for.
