Want to start trucking. Local jobs for rookies?

Hello. Trucking has been in my family for years and I am interested in it. I am currently a single dad with full custody and I'm not making enough to pay the bills. I'm in college but it is a very slow process. Because I am a single parent, I would need a local driving job. I'm willing to work hard and be patient for however long it takes to land a local job because OTR for some experience just isn't an option right now. I live in a populated area with plenty of driving jobs but some really crappy local schools. I can take classes at my community college but I'm not sure if they'll give me a truck for the driving test. I'm sure this has been asked a million times but if I work hard can I plan to eventually find a local job after schooling? I wouldn't mind OTR in the future but as I said I can't so it right now. I'm also interested in starting pay. I currently make around $12 an hour. Can I at least expect to make more than that? All help is appreciated and thanks guys!
