Just look in the local phone book for companies like Yellow, Fed Ex (Ground), Reddaway, ABF, Old Dominion, Etc.
If the company has double trailers and no sleepers on their Tractors, they should be local (LTL), LTL means “Less than a load”.
Personally, i would NEVER drive tanker trucks, I am not that solid in the nerves department, I don’t think I want to spend a year or two getting used to that mass sloshing around on me ![]()
I totally prefer dry box loads, not flat bed, not tanker, not HAZMAT specific (HAZMAT drivers get paid pretty well though, like Nalco Drivers!)
I also drove OTR (Over The Road) my first 3 years of trucking, and loved it, but living in the truck did get old after awhile!
Yes, local/LTL city work and line runs is where it is at! Good pay, home every night, weekends off, great benefits! Generally, there is decent overtime, there again, it depends on the company, but most will work ya if you want it! ![]()
