From no CDL to CDL via dock work

he mite take a hit in $$ or mite not

 

Usually it working 6 to 8 hours and school for 4. Have him start calling now. This is the time when LTL starts to pick back up for the year.

 

Most line haul companies have that program. Probably depends if the terminal needs people or not.

I think ABF also has a program that helps you obtain a CDL while working the dock. Might wanna look them up.

 

Any of them.

I'd start at UPS if it were me. You're gonna do like 4 years in the warehouse working hard, but then you become a parcel driver, and got it made.

Then if there's an opening you become cdl driver.

2nd choice would be fedex or any of the union ltl shops.

Go down to the Teamsters hall. Hang around until you get hired or arrested for trespassing.

 

I know this doesn't apply to your friend, but good info to have.
Lynden Transport has dock-to-driver program in Houston.

 

my parcel driver does better then a feeder driver. he gots some years in tho

 

ConWay was famous for their dock to driver program but when XPO bought them I don't know what they did with it.

LTL is currently slow so the timing may not be that great.
