Having a hard time finding local work as a new CDL holder.
I will try and keep this simple and to the point. First all hello to everyone I'm new to the forum and have already found some great information. Here is my dilemma. I recently graduated from trucking school with the hopes of going cross country. My wife and mainly my daughter have had a change of heart and don't want me to go cross country until my daughter graduates high school. She had this year and next year. I have been trying to find something local in the meantime but everyone wants from 6mo to 2yrs experience. I feel like giving up but my financial situation is what is keeping me from doing so. I have a class A with TX endorsement. Is there anything I can do or am I just SOL for 2yrs. Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
