Hi
My husband is a Redi-Mix driver and has been since he graduated from CDL Driving School, 3 1/2yrs. He wants to get started driving OTR or regionally, but is not sure how to get started. Since he is not a recent graduate will companies take him on? Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thank You

US Express was running adds on craigslist a while back, saying they are taking people who have graduated within the last 5 yrs. Might want to give them a try, or western express, don't know if they hire out of ca though!

If he's been driving the 18 wheeler tankers it will be easier; if he's been driving the 10 wheelers it will require more training. He won't have any trouble being hired for OTR though. Try some companies that have their own CDL training. Some may just require a refresher course and it will be free if he agrees to work for the company a few months.

If he's been working in Redi-Mix for that long he must be good at it,why give up hourly pay plus overtime and being home every night to go work for these mega's that might pay less than minimum wage????
