Get your HAZMAT endorsement.
Get your TWIC Card (allows you to access ship docks, rail yards and government facilities).
I and others have been updating this thread over the years with some useful information…

Congratulations fam! 
Look into transit mix driving. Delivering readmix concrete or asphalt. You won't have to travel far from the plant. Look for plants near you that need drivers.
Get as many endorsements as you can but keep in mind each endorsement has it's pros and cons. For example you comfy driving a double fuel tanker? But if not you gotta look for water or milk tankers anything non hazardous. Most of the time when you get your CDL the school can hook you up with a gig or the company pays for your shit then you start with them after completion. If you live in a big city like da N.O. or mid-level city there are local gigs. Try Craigslist, Indeed, https://www.cdljobs.com/classifieds, https://www.lanefinder.com/jobs/?cdlLicenseType=a, and try reddit they have a big trucking sub over there. Try hitting up yo parole or probation officer, bug em til they find something for you. Ziprecruiter is another one. The local gigs are harder to find cuz the OTR gigs are plenty and it's the best way to learn the ropes. I lucked up and got a local gig since I wanna be here to raise my baby boy til he starts Kindergarten then I'm going all over this muthafucka. Maybe when he hits pre-k. But you gone find something solid, you'll be making doe and getting paid more than ppl you cross paths with.
Oh, and it's a fucked up lie when they promise you quick hire and great pay when you get your CDL cuz most companies want that experience. You might be starting off getting paid 3,5, or maybe $10 less than exp drivers dealing with companies that take on new drivers. Most companies that want exp really want 6months-2yrs max exp so grind it out with the lower pay company or wait longer til u find that find solid gig paying avg or above.
Congratulations
Maaan, congrats! Don’t be posting and driving, ninja! And I’m gonna tell you decades of work travel, find good food. Not some “this’ll do” shit. When you have downtime, treat yourself. I’m somewhere all the fucking time and I REFUSE to eat bullshit. “Well, this is only thing close.” Go a little further. After you bust your ass at anything…the site, smell and taste of good food makes it all better. Reward yourself when possible.
