    What are some good companies that allow you to run solo straight off trainer truck? Asking for a potential driver from the Knoxville area.

    I dont think there is a single one, Just because you have graduated from cdl school doesnt mean companies trust you to drive a truck.

    Most schools are only there to get you to pass your test then hand you off to a mega carrier.

    But if you are in training, you already have a job right?
    Are you saying that your friend has finished training and wants to change companies?
    Best to stay with the one that brung ya for at least 6 months of he will probably have to go out with a trainer again

    I’m asking for companies that are solo after training. The person hasn’t attended school yet, but will be soon.

    Unless it’s a team situation, almost every company is solo after you get off the trainers truck.....

    Watkins and Shepard used to do that but Schneider bought the company and everything went kaput.
