I have CDL. What companies train?

USA Truck – Capacity Solutions
This one has a program for drivers, after 6 - 12 mos. with USA Truck, can run off USA Truck's load boards. Pick the loads you want and run where you want to. Ask a recruiter for details on that.

 

Good outfit and has a good reputation.

 

Did you contact USA Truck and Empire? Many companies bend the rules that are on the websites.

 

@Diesel73 -- current hazmat tanker driver here (I haul gasoline and diesel in both GA & FL).....

a good while back, I had an employment "gap" of several years, that many carriers didn't like--but I had a CDL-A, & all the endorsements.

Schneider gave me a chance--when no one else would.

If you find that none other will give you a chance with a refresher--then you might give Schneider a try:

Over-the-Road (OTR) Van Truckload truck driver - 48 states | Top drivers earn up to $83,000 | Up to $5,000 sign-on bonus | Schneider (schneiderjobs.com)

or

Over-the-Road (OTR) Van Truckload truck driver - home run | Top drivers earn up to $80,000 | Up to $5,000 sign-on bonus | Schneider (schneiderjobs.com)

Since you're in Chattanooga, most likely they would start you out in their Atlanta facility.

When I was doing dry van (or intermodal) work for them, I never had to help unload a trailer.

I did however, sweep out many a trailer....between loads.

After a while with Schneider, you could then move on to better paychecks (and many of course do--including me).

Just noticed it's a reefer outfit. I'll keep it posted in case someone else is interested.
