    im currently in cdl here in jax fl and I have an 8 week class then I will have my cdl. I have tons of questions and I just need some answers... 1st when I get out of truck school I need to find a local gig I need to home every day since I have a new born and a wife to be... can you guys give me some companies that I can consider I had to pay out of pocket for school so reimbursement will be great... lots of companies have been saying I need 1-2 years otr but of course I don't have that I am 21 and for the past 3 years I have been in the delivery field driving a van. I called a few truck companies and I am really considering IN THIS ORDER 1) CCC, 2) SOUTHEASTERN, 3)SAIA... I WOULD CONSIDER AAA COOPER BUT THEY ARE SAYING I NEED MORE EXP... CAN U GUYS GIVE ME SOME IDEAS ON SOME COMPAINES AND THE COMPAINES I HAVE IN MY TOP 3... as I stated before I need to be local !!!

    If you can get on with Southeastern, that would probably be a pretty good job. Not sure about CCC or SAIA, although they have been around for awhile. You might check into companies that pull containers, they are usually local companies. I think CCC has Dry Bulk Tankers, that would be a great job to get. Its usually local, its a rather easy job to unload and usually don't have to worry about backhauls with them, so very little wasted time sitting. I pulled one of them for 8 years, wish I was still doing it.
