Recent CDL graduate

Still plenty of companies will hire you, just can't be as choosy. You didn't waste your money acquiring a CDL.
Take what you can get and then in 3 - 6 months you'll have plenty other choices.

 

Didn't TMC offer a job?

No company is going to put you through school since you already have a cdl.

 

Part of the company (recruiters) will always say "please apply to work for us" and another part of the company (operations) knows they have too many drivers now.

The industry is slow due to the economy. Some companies are slower than others and some locations of the same company are slower than other locations of the same company. It could be the dedicated customer that has the freight you would have pulled cut back shipments or is moving to another trucking company. These are my guesses.

"Down here".....in "the South" -- I routinely see driver job ads for BRAND NEW CDL drivers -- with Werner & with Maverick (both mentioned earlier in this thread).

When I click on Maverick's hiring area map at Philadelphia -- it lists jobs available in BOTH their marine AND glass divisions.

I can't speak for the glass division part -- but....according to a co-worker of mine...the marine job is/would be a cool gig -- ESPECIALLY for a brand new driver.

Did you submit a complete application to both carriers? If so -- what happened with each?

If not -- why not?
