  1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    Hello
    I used to drive straight box trucks years ago and then got into operating construction equipment and driving their support trucks. Over the summer I upgraded my CDL B with airbrakes and pass endorsement into a Class A by getting some training with my union local. It wasn't completely new to me since I have pulled boats and RV trailers over the years so I had some of the concepts already down. I have checked the classifieds and can not find anyone who hires A drivers without at least 1-2 years of verifiable experience. I didn't think my time driving a straight truck counted so how can I begin working w/o any experience?

    There are a few companies who are currently looking for people with no experience. Central Refrigerated Service and Stevens Transport to name a couple.
