Gee, Mr. Dynosour, you are in a tizzy. The guy wanted to know about companies either in S.Ca or based in S.Ca. While Arrow isn't based in S.Ca (Tulsa) they do have a yard, shop, dispatch in Fontana. West Coast regional is dispatched out of Fontana. Covenant hires and has orientation in Pomona, as well as a shop. Not affiliated with US express. CRST use to have orientation in Fontana, not sure if they still do. KLLM as well. Marten has more than a drop yard in Ontario, allthough orientation might be in Mondovi. (who cares) DOT line, Vernon, based there. KKW trucking, Pomona, based there, a decent sized company. Sam Kholi, San Diego, based there. The original poster asked for suggestions, which I gave him. It's up to him to inquire and gather info. It's a place for him to start. Have a nice day......

These posts were from a while back, so I had to refresh myself regarding the responses...I agree with you, totally. 'Mr. Dynosaur' certainly was in a Tizzy! I can only apologize and offer the lame excuse that prolonged periods of unemployment make a guy get a little cranky sometimes...Thanks for the heads-up!

Try Hendrickson Trucking, based in Sacramento. I don't know what their hiring specs are concerning just-out-of-school hires, but they ARE in Ca.
Also, try Fleetdirectory.com. There is an entire list of CA.-based companies.

Good luck to you!

My husband drove for them up until the end of 2009, and they were TERRIBLE. If you like receiving penny paychecks, tho, then this is the company for you.

watkins shepard has a terminal in santa fe springs, ca. they have a 10 day training in missoula, mt. then your off on your own. This means you ain't stuck with a trainer for 30 days. they run the I-5,15,40 corridor alot. If you wan't hometime alot i would consider this company, i pass through the sant fe springs,ca terminal at least twice a week. They hire from a 100 mile radius from this terminal. good company to get your feet wet. after 90 days you could apply for local work if there is an opening at this termimal.

having lived in california all my life (how sad), i can say you're looking for something that does not exist. You will find no large carriers based in this state. The reason is due to the cost of operating in california. For years there has been an exodus of companies leaving due to exorbitant worker's comp, high property values, strict vehicle pollution regs, etc. Many companies have terminals in this state, so you want to confine your search to companies who run the pacific northwest and southwest, the i-5 corridor, based in washington or arizona, of which there are many. I live in san francisco and have submitted many apps. But, i haven't applied to a single california company for the above reasons. Good luck!
