Can anyone help me out on looking for anything local in pittsburgh or where to look. Right now i have 5 kids and i just got my cdl i need something local. When my kids get older then i will go otr but now i want to find something local for my family if anyone can help me that would be so helpful

I am not sure on how much help I can be because I don't know much about local jobs, but I have heard of some ppl trying to go over the road and all they have done is local, so I believe you should be able to find something you will just have to keep looking.
I understand it is hard to be away from you family and go over the road, but you might think about doing it for a year. You can find a company that will get you home 2 days a week (not always on sat and sun) by going regional, that is not going all 48 states, just your surrounding states.
I can tell you this, I would'nt recommend Swift Transportation normally due to their low start pay, but depending on where you live they may have an excellent run for you. They do have a training program for people that are just comming out of school with their CDL. My mom's husband drove for them out of Albuquerque, N.M. where Swift has a terminal. He drove what is called the Shuttle program. He drove from Albuquerque, N.M. to Ammarillo,Tx. and back. He was home everyday. He drove 6 days and had 2 days off then 6 days and 2 off etc. Plus you get payed over the road pay. You should see if they have a terminal close to you and how long it takes to get into the shuttle program.
I worked for KLLM Transport and I liked them verry much. They haul refrigerated, they also have a dry box division. You would need to get hazmat endorsment first.
Good Luck to you and be safe. I hope you find somethin that will work out well.

Thank you very much for your insight on my problem i will look into them i heard alot about them also not really good. But ive been looking everywhere and nobody wants some new guy out their but im trying im not going to give up going to school and driving their trucks it felt so good to drive on the road. I learned alot i only did it for 3 weeks not 6 but if i get with someone ill get my year in and look around again. Thank you very much and be safe out there.
