    I got 6months of experience and got Laid off by a smaller company out of Mtn City TN and was wondering if anyone knew of a company that wouldnt make me spend 300 hrs with a trainer. A couple of weeks of training is ok.

    With 6 months experience, they will probably just make you do 21 days with a trainer, instead of a full 6 weeks.

    You don't make it easy for people to help you when you post your location as nowhere . But you're in luck because that's exactly where good companies that would hire you with your experience are .

    Sorry to deflate your balloon, but 6 months experience won't impress any one. Especially if you lolly gag around and have a big gap between now and your next job.

    I still pull some loads for this company when a driver doesnt want to go or doesnt have the hours to go so there will be no real gap with no work at all.

    Try Danny Herman trucking, he's right there in Mountain City. Big "G" express is somewhere in Tn. Can't think of the city, Shelbyville maybe.
