@TruckingBuckeye1983, hazmat tanker driver here.....

A $$$$$$$ suggestion for you: If at all possible--before you start your first trucking gig--apply for those trucking endorsements: tanker, hazmat, & also doubles/triples.

Bonus points if you also score a TWIC card, while you're at it.

Those endorsements will open up opportunities later for you--they are money makers....$$$$$$.

It's significantly easier to apply for/get those endorsements if you are not already running/working for a carrier.

Later on--you'll be glad you did!



Chinatown's suggestions above are (as usual) good--but post #8 above is especially attractive.

That's (as of the time of this writing, anyway) a very unique opportunity in the industry that's not (to my knowledge) available anywhere else.

If I were starting out again--I'd probably be all over that one like fur on a weasel:

USA Truck Introduces Self-Dispatch Program - Drivers - Trucking Info

I'd drive USA Truck doing OTR for a year, to qualify--then I would apply for that load board/self-dispatch program.

That's some terrific experience there.

It will give you driving flexibility you won't get elsewhere.

Think about it....
