How do I find local jobs with 3mo experience?

You could also find another OTR company that would not restrict your home time options like that.
Your physical address should have no bearing on where you take your home time.

Contact some OTR companies and ask if you can take hometime in California.

First off, which company are you driving for?

Second, most companies will say or do whatever it takes to get drivers into their trucks. The name of the games is Arses To Seats.

Third, a good chunk of companies don't run freight to California or run west that much. That's for various reasons. Could be for monetary reasons, like cost versus profit for running out there. Could be the fact that DOT there has been known to eat alive drivers, anything. As much as drivers would like to run west, the greater demand for trucks are all points east of Kansas City, basically I-35.

Fourth, to answer your question about how to get a good local job is simple. Get more than 3 months experience, at least 1 or 2 years, get endorsements. Without experience, it's going to be difficult to impossible to get any good job.

 

Not positive, but think he drives for Prime as a lease-purchase driver.
