Hello, I just recently got my CDL-A license and I also just turned 21. I have a clean driving record, got a TWIC card on the way, getting a background check for a hazmat endorsement and I can pass a drug test. Any OTR or local jobs I can get as a beginner in the southeast metro Detroit area??

Honestly fresh out of c school need to do like I did, talk to the starter companies, werner, schneider, tmc, PTL, etc I started at werner they did me right for 6 months then I got a better gig. Avoid swift, crst and England.
If you wanting to go over the road chase miles not % I think tmc for example pays by percent. You want pay per mile it will be more at end of the day.
Also look for 100% no touch freight and any percent under 100 of drop and hook be wary because detention sucks at times -

Try these … don’t know if they are hiring but it is a start …
fourteenth avenue - dearborn
capacity - melvindale
Roadstar - warren
Cheyenne -Farmington
metro parcel - Sterling Heights -
I wouldn't look past Swift from what I've read on here from people who actually work for them.
Crst and England have bad reputations so it's probably best to avoid them.
Good luck -
Go down around Wyoming ave., and Michigan ave. Walk into every Company you see. Right attitude goes a long way. E.of Wyoming, S. of Michigan, w. of Central, N. of Vernor. Make sure your cars locked up good, before leaving it. Lol. Good Luck.
