Hello,
Currently I'm looking into getting my CDL A through a school right now. I've already got my permit and everything already.
I'm just wondering what are the odds I could find a regional job with no OTR experience, or does anyone have any other suggestions that could keep me semi local?
Can't really do OTR at the moment because of my mother's health issues so looking into alternatives.
Thanks![]()
Regional with no experience?

You can get a local job right out of cdl school. Of course, that depends on what's available in your area.
Which town/city are you in Alabama?Brandoogie Thanks this. -
I would NOT go to CDL school until you have a particular job at a particular trucking company picked. You wouldn't buy a vehicle before you determine what you need it to do. The job that fits you may provide CDL school or only hire from certain CDL schools that meet certain requirements. Half of the companies hiring newbies offer Tuition Reimbursement to new-hires with OUTSTANDING student loans.
The city/state where you want to work is important for giving recommendations of trucking companies.Brandoogie Thanks this. -
