    I had my license for a year1 1/2
    I’ve been driving dump trucks only but my company doesn’t want to give me a lowboy Sense I don’t have experience in class A
    I want to go straight to Carhauling, is there any company that will train and hire no experience class A driver for car hauling ?
    I’ve hauled cars before with 4 months experience

    Then go haul cars.

    But FIRST tell your existing company you can haul that Lowboy just fine being a holder of Class A (Combination vehicle)

    Make sure they are not discriminating against you first before you make rash decisions.

    The word experience is constantly used as a club against newbies because the company DOES NOT want to spend the money fixing stuff broken by Newbies learning something.

    Checkout Freymiller. They offer a training program. Midsize company of about 500 trucks in Oklahoma City.

    That would be Chinatown's ball park. If you cannot find this fleet, look around and to find other fleet.

    Ive been out of it many years, if I was to get back into it it would be with McKesson.

    If car hauling doesn't work out right now, Western Express will hire you, with no 18 wheeler experience, and you can get flatbed experience there. In a few months, switch to car hauling.
    Where is your location?
     
    FlaSwampRat and Bluedew Thank this.

    There's probably a Cassens that hires in your area.
