    No, they don't.

    If they required a CDL up front--then why would they have a webpage like this:

    DRIVER ACADEMIES | wdtmilk.com

    They hire total beginners--and have been doing so for quite some time.

    With them--you won't be a "guinea pig" while they work out any kinks in their driver training program.

    Also--they have no "dock-to-driver" program.

    There is no "dock-to-driver" program......with tanker duty!

    You must be looking at someone else's website....and/or brochure.

    Just got off the phone with them, guy said he’s gonna talk to his terminal manager and get back to me shortly.

    Stevens finally got back to me and said they need more time between my last criminal charge (2014) and hiring date. It’s looking like I’m gonna have a real hard time finding anywhere without a ten year gap between the history and hire date.

    Not all companies require a 10 yr. gap for criminal charge or incarceration.
    This one doesn't have a cdl school though.

    I’m waiting on two callbacks at the moment,

    Bellavance - may or may not be too far from them, let them know I’d be willing to relocate, said they’d call back before the day is over to let me know.

    Western Dairy - said he’s gotta get me the hell out of Maine and to regular civilization so he’s gonna talk to his terminal manager and see if he can’t get the ball rolling.

    Western Dairy is an excellent choice.
    Either way, snag something soon and get started.
