Living in or near a major city will give you the best chance of finding a local job out of school.

Try checking at www.caljobs.ca.gov in the "Transportation and material moving" section. Don't sweat the 'registering" to access the site, that's just so EDD can justify the use of the site to the state and continue getting funding (your tax dollars at work). BOL

I know most of our barns in the LA basin are hiring.
If you are willing to work the dock for 4-5 months you can earn a CDL no strings and have a good LTL job waiting for you.
