Have you tried ABF. They have a school from what I understand that is six weeks long in Alabama or Arkansas that you must attend, but the pay is good after you get out and it is local.
I also hear they hire newbies as well. Check there website to see if I am correct though. Good Luck

Landing a LTL job this late in the season might be tough, but anything can happen. I know you don't sound like you really want to go OTR but thats where your going to gain your best experience this early in your driving career.

Look up APME (Arcadian Pacific Motor Express)
They used to be in West Sac, I hope they still are. They deliver for Flaming to K Marts, etc. They do mostly Oakland, San Jose, central valley. If you don't mind getting up at 2am, or earlier.

I work out of Lincoln and live in rocklin. I work for Bettendorf out of the lincoln sierra pacific yard. We have openings even though it's quite slow at the moment. I'd check out United Natural foods in Rocklin off of sunset. They are always hiring and start at 17.49hr
