I'm currently in the Atlanta area. I have not receive a CDL yet. I called Knight and they told me all I have to do is go to the DMV an get a permit, they will train me. I'm trying to see just how true this is? Will I get paid while I'm training? How much could I expect to make driving local or regional?

Have you checked on the Knight web site? I checked into Knight 2 years ago, and they don't train - but their subsidiary Squire does. I chose not to go with them because both Squire and Knight don't pay enough. You can probably do better.
-
What company would you prefer? My only problem is that I don't have my CDL yet and I don't want to go get a permit and then can't find a job anywhere.

I would suggest applying to Central. They have a yard in Conley, will hire then train you(including permit), and you'll gain reefer experience which could prove helpful in getting a better job latter.Irelandmichael Thanks this. -
OP go to carrrier questions click Knight in subforum and ask Knight drivers.
And don't let these people steer you to refer hauling at a starter co.
Want refer exp? Get up at Midnight and go to your local Grocery Whse and watch those poor suckers racing to the dock to be the 1st in line to hire a lumper so they can hopefully get unldd by daybreak.Inland-Pilot Thanks this. -

Knight does train from scratch now in Olive Branch, MS. They have both dry and refer Your choice. Knight has a terminal on Shirley just West of I285 off I20 Atlanta. You can call that terminal directly and speak to a recruiter. They Might let you make an appt for a face-to-face.

I don't know if they will allow a face-to-face. But you can ask for one. Worst they can do is say no. You need to understand that any company that trains intends to hire you if you make the grade. None of them do CDL training only. They should prequalify you as far as: work history, dot physical, and driving record.
