Local Jobs??

Craigslist? That’s still a thing I guess hahaha I’ll definitely do that! Thank you for the idea!

Ryder said they wouldn’t hire me as well as CFI and a few others

I suggest getting onto the local Craigslist under "Jobs", then click on "Transport". I just did a quick scan for The Springs and saw a bunch.

Don't just jump at the first one, though. If you have any questions, come back here and quiz the TT. We should have some good advice for you.

I think the ones I’ve been using have been from this site, indeed, and zip recruiter. I’ll keep on applying, there’s got to be a company willing to take a chance

You might also try Indeed.com and to fill the application on this website which is forwarded to trucking companies.

CL is actually how I started on a whim one night while looking at job postings.

Howdy, Shantiwa !!!

Wonder why on either. . . any reasons? (BTW, congrats on passing!!!) Thinking out loud; wondering if that 132 hour certificate being less than the 160 (usually standard) is an issue, as Big Scott (I think?) mentioned/questioned elsewhere. Sure hope not!

Also . . have you looked into Prime? They are EXTREMELY female friendly; so is WST (West Side Transport.) Too bad you're not in my husband (and Don's) company's hiring area; FAB has a new 'women's reach' program coming into 2022.

Well, darn. I'll keep my ears open for ya, though! Another 'out loud/out of the box' thought. H.O. Wolding? They're going through some changes, and might have something in your alley/wheelhouse. Also . . . K&B Transport? ShipEx? Raider? Pride?

I'd still check into the LTL companies, as the guys said, too.

I'll be hoping/praying/thinking for ya, fellow female!

CONGRATS, thus far!!

Thank you for the idea, I had no idea my hours were lower, kind of bummed out about that. I’ve been applying to anything and everything I can, hoping and praying for a chance! Thank you for those company names, I’ll apply to them before bed. I called my school and they’re contacting companies they have history with to put in a good word for me and see if I can’t get a local position that way.

So far, western express seems like a good choice if they’ve got local available. I’ll find out soon!

Wow that’s crazy, I’ve never actually used craigslist… my parents told me it was used for online prostitution 🤦🏽‍♀️ You’d have to know my mother to understand that she probably thought it was used for that.

I did get on there and applied for several jobs today though, so thank you for that idea! Just waiting to hear back from all these companies. Quick question though, is filling out online application stuff involving the “clearinghouse” normal?

CL and FB market place can be a good source. I know my terminal in Denver has partnered with a local carrier there, they offered me a local position in Denver, but I think the times would be off for you. (It was 6:00 AM M-F) in downtown Denver. Plus, I think it was something offered to existing drivers that have history there and have done OTR first. But it gets me to thinking that some of the larger carriers might have a local presence in either the Springs, Pueblo or Denver. Systems Transport has dedicated stuff there, but its Flatbed. Ive seen a lot of adds for local and semi local positions, but most require at least 6 months OTR experience.

Im sure the LTL and local drivers on here know way more than I do about it. I just know that as Packrat said, When I was looking to get into to trucking I used to scroll the CL listings. I did it for construction too. Have actually occasionally found some decent work that way in the construction world.

Check into PFG, although it is prob running doubles. Sysco also. Search fedex contractors. A little tricky to find info on fedex contractors though. I know a few here on east coast I will inquire and get back to you!

Awesome! Thank you, I’ll look into those companies

6am start time in Denver wouldn’t really work out for me at this time with my kids unfortunately. I know a friend that works at System transport and they don’t actually have local in Colorado Springs, it’s up in Henderson area because I thought about applying there. I’ll find something, just have to look under every rock in the city lol
