Hello guys, I recently graduated from a CDL school and want to know what the best options are besides OTR. I’m not particularly interested in being out for weeks at a time, something closer to weekly or even better home daily would be awesome! I’m super interested in working Linehaul for an LTL company, as I have all of my endorsements and even a TWIC already, but they all require experience. So far, Saia and Estes have denied my applications, while R+L is interested in an interview, but I’m not so sure it’ll go too well considering and I’m not interested in P&D for any of these companies either. OD, ABF, and FedEx aren’t hiring near me (Northeast, Massachusetts specifically) and I’m not touching Yellow or Central. I’ve even been looking into CDL B work if the hunt goes poorly.
Any tips/places to point me?
Also, will companies accept CDL B experience as driving experience for Class A jobs? Or is it more of a “just don’t mention it was Class B” type of thing.
TLDR; While not being lazy myself, I am looking for the easiest/best gig I can get right out of school.
​
Sorry for all the questions, I’m pretty new and very young and just trying to navigate this as intelligently as possible.
