Need some help regarding getting in the trucking Industry

That is correct some won't accept you unless you attended school.I don't know of any companies that will.But start looking you may find a company.So how did you get your CDL if not from a school just go to the DMV and take the road test?

 

Try these, may be a little tough without formal training, but apply online anyway.

Paschall Truck Lines
Schneider (tanker division)
Prime (tanker/flatbed/refrigerated)

 

I just went and got mine on my own here is southwest Nebraska. No school, just took the written tests at the DMV then rented a 3rd party truck to road test. I ran into the same thing you did, either needed school or recent verifiable experience with a lot of companies. Long story short, I ended up getting part-time work hauling wet distillers grain from a local ethanol plant to local feedlots. I am home every night, its work, but I enjoy it. Company I drive for is very small, but most all my co-workers are good and the managers/trainers are helpful. Look at trying to get on with a local haul company using tractor trailers, it will help get the door open for whatever you want to do in the future.

 

Apply with Maverick also if they hire in your area.
Paschall hauls some auto parts out of Laredo, but that doesn't mean you would get those loads on a regular basis. Just whatever it takes to get started.

 

What you mean? With a school you always get stuck, since you have to pay them back the cost of the school regardless. With a company, on the other hand, the cost could be zero. Of course, if you lose your job, then you would have to pay them back, but the cost nevertheless would still be quite a bit less.

 

Yeah , and training companies pay the lowest rates and have the lowest miles . A lot of students are starved out so they can be charged for the school and replaced with another trainee that will temporarily be used as a cheap team driver .
