Tricavscout has good advice. If Werner will hire and train you, then you can get some experience and then move elsewhere and you won't have to pay for the training. I drove for a little while (almost all OTR) and it's the only time I was away from home more than I am now. However, once you have some experience you can look for local gigs. I liked the driving part, but I hated dealing with the various state DOT's.

My F-I-L and B-I-L are/were both drivers, both owned their own companies at one time. The F-I-L is now retired and the B-I-L sold and went to work for Safeway, driving. But he stays in-state.
