Wall paper your whole area with resumes, and not just the national companies.
I started with a local Fruit Processing Plant that had only three rigs. I had no experience, but after a month of running the old truck regional, they saw I had skills. Then they bumped me up to the Volvo 770 that had only 120k miles on it, with a new Great Dane reefer, and sent me 48 States and Canada, hauling their frozen fruit. I made an average of $1200/week as a rookie.
They had hired me and another driver at the same time. He was experienced, and got the Volvo. Within 2 weeks, he parked the rig in a no parking zone next to a Strip joint, and the cops towed the rig off.
Experience doesn't always mean you are a top hand.
Also, I made more pay as a rookie than most guys make in a national company.
You are use to small outfits, and work camaraderie. If I were you, I'd focus in finding a job that will continue that kind of work environment, unless you think you can adapt to how these big outfits will treat you.
If you want to do OTR, you are going to have a lot of adjustments to make.
That first year is going to bring out all your demons.
