    what companies can i apply too that hire with no recent exp i got my cdl over a year ago and have no exp. must have training program.

    i live in the meat patch looking for reefer companies to try and get home more often. even better would be midwest regional.

    Respectfully speaking, you may want to concentrate more on getting experience for the 1st. year, maybe the first 2 years, then start going after the higher paying jobs. In the mean time, you need the initial experience.

    Good luck to you! God bless you and your family!

    Hate to rain on your parade, but many companies consider the day you start driving school to the day that the company trainer says you are ready for your own truck as a continuous process. I have heard where they won't take you with that 12 month break in the process. Don't be surprised if you get turned down by companies that normally would have taken you.

    You'll have to go with a trainer probably. Go with a company that pays a high CPM & good benefits. Don't settle on a company that pays like #### just to get experience.

    Henderson might take you. I know they'll take recent school grads and put you with a trainer.
