I am turning 21 this June. I can get my CDL training done by July from Western Dakota Tech.
I am going through Vocational Rehabilitation, so I am eligible for WOTC and OJT.
This is my question: I would love to join a company that is 100% non-touch freight.. However, if that is not possible - which have the 'least' runs where you unload your own cargo?.. Which, I would also have more than a snowball's chance of getting hired at?
I have a disability that would prevent me from doing it often..
Would I do well to get a tanker endorsement, for this?
Thanks!

If you don't mind me asking what is your disability
I might be able do dig up some threads on your particular situation -
Wrist pain, from repetition (Lax Joints). Controlling the steering wheel / shifting won't be an issue, but lifting and moving an entire trailer's cargo will be.. or, atleast if I have to do it a lot.

This might not be what you have but the discussions might help your questions
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Afraid not, but thank you.
Any chance you can suggest companies to work for?

CRST is 99% no touch. You Should have no problems gettng hired there. As for other companies ask their recruiters and check out their websites.

Ask them the question directly. If you have hypermobility, all I can say is that I had a high school friend (helluva basketball player) that had this. And he went on to work for a van line company, then trained drivers, etc. This was a few (ok, alot) years ago, but it didn't slow him down.Baack Thanks this. -
Hey.
Why am I supposed to ask DOT about it?
I just want to find a company that has very little loading/unloading ..

I'm sorry, I thought you were concerned about it affecting your overall employability and your DOT medical qualifications. My bad, scroll on!
