I am interested in starting a career in trucking. I am, though, not 20 years old anymore. I'm 40 with a wife and two kids and I would very much like to be home every night. It seems that pretty much every company I call or anyone I ask says that local routes are available but only after you've done OTR for a year or more.
Is there any opportunity to get your CDL and go directly into a home every night job? I hope so. If anyone can answer this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. My hope is that I'm not shut out of the industry.
