New trucker needing a job

Hi everyone,

I live in the South Florida area and I need to find a job as a driver, I resently obtained the CDL class A drivers license and unfortunately for me, I DO NOT HAVE PREVIOUS TRUCKING EXPERIENCE.
I wanted to say that before posting all other things about me since I understand no experiense has a huge negative connotation.

I have clean MVR, no tickets of any kind.
I don't have previous fellonies as well as no DUIs
I have decent physical condition.
I'm able to follow directions
I take pride on my work
I understand customer service as a priority, that include the load's delivery time.
I can drive OTR with no time limitations in general.

I will need training, for that I can tell you, I'm a normal person, not a wierdo, I'm clean not a smoker, I respect others and expect respect back, I don't care about people's background or skin color.
I don't think I can ask for top pay but no slavery either.
In general I consier myself as a good business associate.
## #### ( I felt I had to say that)

Although I just singed in I have been following this forums for a few months, reading on the ins and out of the industry, the bads and the goods of the big companies that's why I desided to try this and keep the hope that I may find myself with the right trucker or truck company.

Thanks for your time.

 

No, I haven't called any Co., I just got my CDL yesterday and this morning the first thought was to jump on the computer and come here to do some research about the hiring process and I thought it would be a good idea to start with vehicle owners, that been O/O who got their authority or independent contractors.

Since a lot of my previous reading has been mainly about schools and the big corps reputation, I'm planning start calling some corps. next. I have to admit, I'm a bit phone shy but I have to prepare for that too.

Also, as I learn here in Trucker's report, paying a visit to a truck stop, I have one close by, I think, is not a bad idea, since I could get to ask questions and maybe some advice. I'll what's nex, thanks for replaying.

 

No, I didn't. I went through a third party, we did trained back up parking and I did good on the final test with a 40' conbination vehicle.

 

Ok, thanks. I got CCC Transportation LLC, I went to their website and they hire depending on demand, I'll give them a call tomorrow. CT is Covenant Transport?
CTL Transport LLC, they are tank and the website doesn't talk about experience, wether they wanted it or not, I'll give them a try who knows, the tank endorsement shouldn't be that dificult but it may be Hazmat, I'll see.
