    I signed up for Sage CDL school in Muncie , Indiana today and also got my 2 year dot physical done and drug test. I will start Sept. 9th.
    Just need to get my CDL permit in the next few days.

    If anyone has any info on the school or someone hiring recent grads , please let me know.
    The school says Hogan and R&L carriers hire their students along with many others.
    I met a driver at the school that was hired by First Fleet after he graduated from Sage running Kroger loads out and back at night time 350 - 400 miles. He gave me his name as a referral. Sounds like what I am looking for.
    Carter Express said my App and driving record was all approved and to stop by when I get back to the US from South Korea and last Wednesday we arrived form there and settled into our new house for good :)

    Hoping to hear of some great jobs for new grads , Thanks

    R&L Carriers is the best of those.
    Hogan has a reputation for small paychecks.

    That's good info on R&L Carriers; didn't know they now hire new cdl grads.

    J Rayl Transport has a terminal in North Liberty, Indiana (about 15 miles SW of South Bend). They hire new graduates, and reimburse tuition.

    Best of luck @dennisroc. Seems you've been posting about getting a CDL for a long while and now the "wheels" seem to be in motion for you. Hope it's all you want it to be!!!

    Out of those you mentioned R&L is the best choice.

    Good luck @dennisroc

    HOORAY,,a decision has been made. :evil3: I wish you the best of luck, I think you'll do just fine. Just remember, open the right door first, don't forget your turn signal, and get a dash cam. There, I just saved you $4000 bucks.

    The guy I talked with loves his job ??? Could things be different at different places maybe ?
    This seems like something that would interest me but have seen some bad reviews.
    Why you all think this is a bad company ?

    Thanks
