Who hires out of Arizona

Discussion in 'Discuss Your Favorite Trucking Company Here' started by Pedy6Pak, Feb 7, 2011.

  1. Hi,

    It has been a long time since I have posted on this forum. I am hoping I can get some advice. My brother just got his CDL and he lives in the Phoenix area. Can I get some advice on decent companies for a new driver out of his area? He will do local or OTR, he just needs to get started. I drove for Roehl, but they don’t hire newbe’s out of Arizona.

    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

    USXpress and Watkins Shephard will hire new CDL holders from Phx. And of course Swift, Werner and Digby Southwest will too, if one chooses to go that route. Knight Transportation, Knight Refrigerated and Marten are hiring as well but require at least 3-6 months OTR experience.
     
    Pedy6Pak Thanks this.

    There's a bunch in PHX, let me put my brain into gear. Tru-Line, Ruan, Bjorn Petersen, First Fleet, May, McKelvey, Swift, Knight, FMF Const, Heartland Express, plus a few more, including a dirt operation in Mesa, can't think of their name. Oh, yeah, Duncan and Sons, they do containers to Long Beach. Good luck.
     
    MoneyCat and Pedy6Pak Thank this.

    Knight has a training program called Squire. U go with a trainer for 4-6 weeks then do solo time (up to 3 mos) then u can transfer to OTR fulltime. Knight Refrigerated has the same program. Any questions u can post on here and i can answer them. Nero
