Interested in obtaining my CDL class A. San Antonio,tx area

Walk into a regional company office. Tell them about yourself, your work ethic, and abilities.

If you can sell your attitude, they may bend the ‘rules’ and hire you.


Being hired for a home-daily company without experience can happen - I know that personally.



Walk in the office, and talk with the terminal manager.

Appearance and how you interact with people are important, but...if you don’t want to go OTR, then give it a shot.


Also, @Chinatown for more specific companies to check with.

Trucking terminals and larger warehouses have "Yard Jockey" positions. No CDL is required while operating on Private Property. These positions pay by the hour and will easily lead into the driving position you desire. Good luck!

 

If you get your CDL, the Toyota plant is always hiring yard jockeys. I think it starts off between 13-15 an hour with plenty of overtime. I'm almost positive it's rotating shifts every 2 weeks but you'll be home everyday. If not HEB might hire new drivers for local runs.

 

Have fun dealing with those grocery employees. XD

 

Plenty of local/regional jobs that don't require OTR. Depends on where you live though.
In Texas, foodservice is one of the types of driving that don't require OTR. Labatt Foodservice doesn't even require a CDL, only a CDL permit and they only have routes in Texas and New Mexico.
