    Are there any other non-training "starter" companies out there aside from Watkins & Shepard out there? I only ask because W/S doesn't hire out of Louisiana. :biggrin_25510:

    Your best bet is to get out and go door to door.

    6 weeks go quick. Trust me, there is alot to learn. Training is a foundation for your whole career. Plus you will be a very high danger the first 4 weeks. It's better to have someone watching over you.

    When you get 500,000 miles you will begin to realize how dangerous you were those first 200,000 miles. You'd be well advised to seek the best training.

    However since a CDL is a license to learn, nobody is going to put you in their truck solo out of school if that's where you're trying to go.

    Watkins & Shepard, I hear they will hire anybody that can fog a mirror.
