    Hi!

    I'm a recent CDL school graduate with a tanker endorsement and a pending Hazmat endorsement, and I'm looking for places that would hire someone with no prior experience. I'd prefer local and home daily, but I understand that may not be in the cards for a new driver. Are there companies in the Clarksburg/Fairmont/Morgantown area that hire new drivers? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    It's getting tight because some companies that hired new cdl school grads are now requiring experience.

    Schneider National -- Regional dry van truck driver -- all experience levels accepted -- Middlebourne, WV

    After each 6 months of duty....you could switch to another freight type (yet stay with Schneider -- avoid the job-hopping...& build a nice trucking resume...that projects stability):

    • Smooth-bore tanker
    • Intermodal ("where the rubber meets the rail") :Railway:
    • Conestoga/curtainside (in some locations)
    • Dedicated
    • Refrigerated (in some locations)
    With the current freight market showing no real signs of improving....the above is certainly worthy of thought.

    I started off with Schneider dry van; after 6 months, I switched over to intermodal -- & then I was home every 5 days.

    Depending on the circumstances -- some drivers in intermodal were doing really well there in intermodal, money-wise.

    Clarksburg. I’m open to OTR as well. I just want to have an opportunity to gain experience. I would prefer to be local, but I also understand that might not be possible.
