    Hi everyone, recent cdl grad here I got my cdl a around end of April & have been having trouble finding a local job I’ve even been turned down by jobs that are labeled “trainee” positions for new cdl holders which confuses me. I also have my tankers & doubles/triples endorsement as well. Any tips or help will be gladly appreciated.

    Local jobs are rare these days. Would you accept regional or OTR?

    I’ve been thinking about doing something regional as of late since it’s been hard to get into something local.

    Check the jobs on this thread also. Apply to any company even if you don't think you'll be hired.

    Thank you @Chinatown I have applied to a trainee position for mclane foodservice any idea why I would be turned down if it’s a “trainee” position for new cdl holders

    It's the economy. Lots of experienced drivers looking for work, so companies that normally hire trainees, can now get experienced drivers.
    Apply to all the companies listed in the two threads I sent in Post #4 & Post #5 and something should hit.
     
    Jay215 Thanks this.
