    I believe Jevic and New Century are based in NJ, but don't quote me on that. I don't know what their experience requirements are, either.
    Most of the entry level carriers advertise on various websites, such as truckjobseekers.com

    Did you go to that job fair at Smith Solomon last week? I was there w/ my son ,he put in 6 or more applications from that fair. Sisco,toys r us,PFG, O.D.,Pyle and a few others. He started w/ Werner 1/3/11 ,48 states,terminated 4/12/11,because of hard braking as registered by onboard computer.What a crock of BS,they put on his DAC eligible for rehire w/ review.Only one incident recorded on his DAC,non DOT reported accident(2 inch scrape on their trailer when testing out 45 degree backing). They gave him a truck and terminated him 5 days later.So stay away from Werner.

    Almost all the big companies hire from that region. Bowman is out of Hagerstown.

    Schneider, TMC both hire heavy from that area. Didn't you have recruiters come to S & S?
