I have my class a but I only work on a farm now hauling dumps and hoppers. Which have no dot numbers there fore I have no experience to anyone's knowledge. How can I get an otr job without going to a school and loosing money
you already have you class A cdl in hand? you wil prob have to stat on with a mega low pay bt i dont THINK you will have to go to a school,
Apply to companies that have their own training program. Since you already know how to drive, maybe a company will fast track you through the program. Earl Henderson Trucking will probably have you in class Monday morning. This company has a good reputation. There's others to choose from depending on where you live; put your location on your profile. Either choice, you will need an original birth certificate and original social security card.
i came from a company that had the dot number but didnt participate in hire right all i did was have them call the company to prove it just pull up to the interview in the dump truck that should be enough proff
Hire right is nothing more than a cancer to the trucking industry, not all companies pay them for their services and their system is not necessary..... They have also had class action lawsuits against them for false information about drivers and hindering alot of driving careers and more than likely they will be sued again for their dishonesty
I would just start applying at companies where you want their kind of work. As for your experience? Any company will consider your application, will talk to you, if your CDL is current and you get a medical card. Does the phrase "driver shortage" sound familiar? Go for it. Best
If youre ok with flatbed and you have a clean background, and you don't mind the megas, you might want to call maverick. From what I've heard, they don't jerk people around with silly BS,, who have a CDL and already know how to drive. You can check the maverick forum here on TTR to verify,, or call them.
Stick with what you know, find a dump/hopper company. You know how to drive already. Don't go to some mega dry van co. You won't make any money
Would I have more luck if I buy a cheap truck and rent a hopper and just stay local. I'm in delaware by the way
