    Working on getting my CDL again, so I can go back on the road. I live in Delaware, and even though I want to run for awhile. Having a terminal that is close to home is beneficial for many reasons. Does anyone know if there is a map that shows terminal locations of mega's? Or know good companies that are closish to Delaware that hire with only about 6 months experience?

    Google maps. Zoom out over your town and search "Trucking Company." In our town, 11 companies show up, none really large, no megas, but its a start.

    In the alternative, you can center overr your house and tuype in the name of the mega you are interested in and note the closest yard they list. Run "directions" an see how far away it is. Do that for all the ones you are interested in, and you should have an idea from there.

    BTW: Leonard's Express appears to have a terminal in Wilmington and is pretty highly regarded for a starter company.
