Wanting to get my class A

Hi, kinda new here, I currently have my class b with hazmat tanker and work for Ferrellgas doing bulk lp and forklift cylinders, more cylinders than bulk. I'm to the point that I hate coming to work anymore, mostly because of cylinders, 150+ day then get back and fill as many as I can. I'm looking into cdl school, and I'm located in canton ohio. I have enough money to get by for about 3 months without a job. I'm trying to find anything except having to be out not than a couple days at a time as I don't think I can handle living on the road, plus girlfriend doesn't like it either. Any input on the chances of getting a semi local gig out of cdl school would be great. I don't think I would like being stuck in a seat day in day out. A little physical work doesn't bother me at all, just don't want to be dead tired everyday either though. Was thinking about local beer company, something like that. I'm 41 and in decent shape, 6'1 200 lbs. Also is it a good idea to start applying to jobs before I even start? Btw, looking into big rig truck driving school in massillon ohio. Thanks in advance!

 

That's a good idea, kind of thought of bev companies to have a and b trucks, that's another reason I thought of them, but if it's anything like throwing forklift cylinders I prob don't want to go down that path.

 

Thanks I saw a couple of those jobs, but noticed they wanted around a year of roll off experience, maybe in should apply anyway. Btw what is P and D, I'm still learning lol.

Didn't see your last post, is it a good idea to apply before I start school, even if it's a class b truck? I'm worried I won't find a job right after school since I don't want to do otr.

 

What about concrete mixers?

 

Appreciate your input streetbeater, I think that's def something I'm gonna have to do to get in somewhere. I do feel a little bad leaving Ferrellgas right in peak season but they also told me I'd be off of cylinders by winter and now I'm on them basically till I find a new job.
