All these companies hire new CDL grads, even if the website has different.
Don't wait, submit applications now.Dieseltu, dennisroc, Midwesttrucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Old Dominion
freightwipper, dennisroc and Chinatown Thank this. -
None you posted are good, probably Roehl of those would be your best option.
Prime, Maverick and Crete hire in your area.. they pay better than those others companies you posted. -
If you can get into LTL right away go for it.
Would probably earn double by one of them their first year compared to if they chose Werner or Stevens instead. -
If you don't have your HAZMAT/Double and Triples, Tanker Endorsements you are just wasting your time. Those endorsements are your ticket to a stable future in the profession. This is what all the LTL carriers want you to have. Tanker is a new requirement for LTL companies as well so don't overlook that endorsement. Best of all its probably the easiest to obtain. -
They'll even hire you without a CDL.. go on their site and look up "road driver school".
If it was me that's what I'd do.
forget that werner garbage pay and sitting around bs -

Estes is always hiring

get your experience maybe 2 years dosent really matter where because no matter what otr company you go for their gonna suck. Once you get your experience if your young like under 25 get into a union ltl carrier the reason I say that is because you can work 30 years and retire with a full pension I have been a driver for a long time and it kills your body when you are in your 40s your physically shot so the thing is plan a future because you dont want to do this job forever wish I wwould have not made the mistake of working otr so long and it isnt the healthiest of lifestyles
Dieseltu Thanks this.
