1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    I'm out here in the Wichita KS area, but its been a real pain trying to find something that isn't OTR. I got my CDL class A back in September, then went to work gathering endorsments. Airbrakes, combination, doubles/triples, tanker, manual, even got twic. As of now, my back ground check for HAZ is still being processed. I've been getting poor luck finding employment though indeed. Lately I've been contacting cement and trash companies through phone calls and their websites for the past week, but it's too soon to say if anything is really working.

    Is there something else I could be doing to find a local job? Or am I cursed to spend 4 weeks over the road every 34 hour reset?
