Many new drivers believe incorrectly that there are only a few trucking companies willing to hire inexperienced truckers fresh out of CDL school. Maybe it’s because only a few recruiters visited their training program, or maybe when they first started job hunting they found a lot of ads requiring years of minimum experience. The truth is that there are many companies who are eager to hire drivers with zero experience. Some of these companies will even provide CDL training for people who can’t afford to pay for truck driving school.
