    I don't know about OTR but the local outfits that haul ag in our area are getting their crews together.
    Some of them have already finished hiring but there are always jobs around if a guy doesn't mind seasonal work.
     
    Labrador and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    My brother and I have been running a car hauler on the west coast for last month for our own company and while prices are down, there’s still work and we won’t be going hungry just yet. Good luck to ya

    Local would be nice but since I have no experience really I assume OTR is probably the only option. Currently unemployed Chinatown.

    This one, closest training center is Denver. They'll provide transportation, meals, lodging.
    Don't know if you'll even have to go to Denver, might just put you in a truck with a trainer, after orientation in Dallas.
