Why did you get your CDL a year ago and not use it? A stale license does nothing, and can actually be more of a hindrance than asset.
Thanks for all the feedback!
I wanted to get it out the way while also saving enough of a cushion before leaving my job. I didn't think that it would go stale. That never crossed my mind. Hopefully that don't hurt me as don't need to spending more cash for a refresher. I'm going to make a few call to see what's what.

Good evening TT family,
I've been working in the office all my life but it's time for a change. I attended a local tractor trailer school in my area and received my CDL with Hazmat, Tanker, T/D and also got my TWIC card back summer 2018. It's been a dream of mines to drive big rigs since I was a child. I really don't want to do OTR if I don't have to but I'm hearing I have to pay my dues before local companies will give me a shot. Due to young tweens at home, I would prefer local to the DMV area. I know I need to pull the trigger at some point but I'm a little nervous with making the change. Can anyone share some of the things that helped you get out of your comfort zone? I'm going to start calling some recruiters to get the ball rolling hopefully before the end of this summer fingers crossed. Thanks for your time and I'm loving this site. Going to spend some time over the next few days exploring.
