Looking for job

I would recommend making lots of phone calls to many different companies. Test the water and try your luck, its kinda like playing the lottery. You never know when you might get lucky. I called Swift and unless you live out west they aren't hiring. Central Refrigerated Trucking is accepting recent trucking school graduates. I called them yesterday. Western Express is also hiring, flat bed and dry van division.

If i find anymore companies i will post them here for you, i am currently looking for a job myself.

 

I used to live in the Chicago area in 1992 and worked for Schneider for 5 years and ran alot of Michigan Ohio Pa and was home each and every weekend so maybe they will treat you right for that area.

 

Try ALLIED AUTOMOTIVE GROUP 6301 Wyoming Ave. Dearborn,MI 1(800)999-1336 Job Title: Car Hauler. Excellent Pay(avg. 500-1000 NET Weekly) Unionized(dont know if ur bias about unions). If you get thru and their hiring, I'd be happy to "Fill" ya in.

AD Transport Canton,MI 1(734)397-7100. Dry Van. Drove 4years for them, then wife passed(heart attack only 38yrs old) had to quit to raise 3 kids. Parked truck in Phoenix at a Pilot....they paid cab fare to Airport and paid air fare(to Ohio) AND sent me my check BEFORE payday printout AND included a $500 check for family sent Overnight Express Next Day( got it actually in 29hours, stinkin truck drivers anyway)

You really need to check out the Job Section of this Website....very informative. FYI....Nobody has a problem with Schnieder.....they just dont go there. Anybody that paints their trailer doors orange so the drivers know WHICH end to hook up to.....just has a r e a l bad training system....ya think?

 

Yea! better off making phone calls, There is so many on line app. going on they are not looking at them untill you call. Its happen many time to me already good luck .

 

Just out of curiosity, didn't the school have any kind of placement program? My school does, which is why I picked them over a community college even though it was more money.

 

The only problem I had was I wanted to work to Hard. I had a dedicated From Indiana to PA. and it was drop and hook on both ends and I would get in trouble for running to many miles in a day. Somedays I would run 700-800 miles this was when we could only do 55mph and they told me if I continued to run that way I would be terminated.Also Schneider could not run the Indiana or Ohio Toll road then We had to use RTe 30 and RTE 6 .So I got hired at Jevic in the mid 90's When it was privately owned and Running non-stop to Jersey as a solo and they loved it and so did I.

P.S. bonus played a big part in my pay at Schneider it was basically equal to a fifth paycheck a month but it is easily acheiveable.

 

Sounds fishy to me,I had heard of that before.To me it seems they are milking money from people that want to get there cdl's.I agree it doesn't make scence.
