Companies that hire new CDL holders from Nor Cal.

China seems to be on vacation this week

 

Check local beverage and food service companies. You work your butt off but great pay and benefits.

 

Too bad you are too good to work for a mega. I would have a suggestion but you prefer to work for a mom and pop and they always pay more and have more miles right?

 

NorCal can be tough for finding good driving jobs. Companies don't have a lot of terminals up here, and not a lot of drivers can afford to live in the area. Keep an eye on Craigslist and Glassdoor for the few that become available.

 

How much driving experience do you have, what have you been hauling, and where do you live?

 

I didn't see anywhere in his post that he said he was "too good to drive for a mega".

 

There are a ton of companies out here that'll hire new CDL holders. I myself started out with a mega (Schneider) and got my experience with them driving regionally before transitioning to a local run with a different outfit. Since you have no interest in working for one of the megas, Leavitt Freight is hiring in the region. I believe they are a division of Central Oregon Trucking so you can expect to see a lot of CA as well as the PNW. Also, a lot of these job postings on Indeed/Craigslist will say that experience is preferred but that doesn't necessarily make it a prerequisite. If you have a solid work history and a clean MVR, HR managers will be more willing to work around your lack of experience. What part of NorCal are you from?

 

California...CRST. Tuition reimbursement, 1,000 sign on bonus, few other perks. Team freight @ .40 cpm split miles.
