Local Jobs

And if you take 20 minutes to apply and they say no, what have you really lost?

Dont be lazy about applying, and then ##### when you cant find a decent job.

Ive found that many LTLs take on rookies, regardless of what their website says.

 

I agree with the don't be lazy which I am not.I will be starting a local job tuesday.This company wants a yrs OTR exp.Many local companies here and have'nt foind one that will hire you without exp.

 

All I said was, it doesnt hurt to apply. Thats it.

All they can do is say no.

If a company says they want 2 years experience and you dont have it, apply anyway.

 

I know what u said.You have your opinion and I have mine.

 

Drivers with 10+ years of experience do that also. So you point is?

 

Best thing about running local is never having to use a truck stop bathroom again

 

a lot more LTL companies are actually looking for guys starting out, to train the way they want. that was how i got my last job, rather then someone coming in for one day and laughing at dispatch for telling him he needs to unload his own trailer

 

That's good to know. I see you're in Massachusetts, is that the case there? I'm not far away in New York. I'm not sure what I want to do yet..my previous boss says he has a few contacts that may be hiring for local work, and a friend of mine is a truck driver so maybe I can get something local through him. The thing is I'm looking to drive a tanker and I can get that training if I stay with PRIME and do several months otr. It would be ideal if I could find local work driving a tanker, but that may be a little tricky.

 

of course veteran drivers hit things.But someone fresh out of school going local?Who's going to train them or do they just train themselves?

 

How bout a trainer. Local companies send new employees out with trainers, weather they are new or experienced.
