Just like the thread says. I will be a newbie in a couple months and I'm leaning towards tanker or flatbed. I live in western WI about 65 miles from there but may wanna try a company out of that area to maximize home time and covienience for training. Any suggestions who I should look at? (or stay away from?). I can certainly google all the big ones but would like to avoid a mega if possible. Another question, can a rookie start in tanker?
Thanks

Yes, some tanker companies hire new CDL graduates. Here's a good mix of companies to look at. Ignore any "experience required" and apply anyway if you're interested in a company.
Blachowske Truck Line
Roehl Transport
Maverick
JBS Carriers
TMC
Superior Carriers
Schneider Bulk
NAPA Auto Parts
Melton Truck Lines -
Thank you. Are any of these based in MLPS/ST PAUL?
-
Some based there or have terminals there.
-
I don't believe any of those are "Based" in the cities.
Blachowske-Brandon, South Dakota, no terminal in the cities
Roehl-Marshfield, Wi. Only a drop yard in the cites
Maverick-Little Rock, Arkansas. No Terminal in the cites
JBS-Greely, Colorado. No terminal in the cities
TMC-Des Moines, Iowa. No terminal in the cites
Superior Carriers- Oak Brook, Illinois. No terminal in the cites
Schneider Bulk-Green Bay, Wi. No terminal in the cites
NAPA Auto Parts- 1 freight hauler job in the cites. Must have class A or B
Melton-Tulsa, Oklahoma. No terminal in the cites
Locations are as listed by company websites -
I live in Rochester, MN about 75 minutes from Roehl's drop yard in St. Paul and run flatbed out of there. I park the truck there while on hometime.
-
If you want to get into an LTL company ABF and Conway Freight are both taking students in the twin cites area.
Olsmann Thanks this. -
Schneider has flatbed division in Minneapolis on a dedicated account.
-
You're splitting hairs. Many companies have dedicated accounts that won't be listed on their websites. Dedicated or logistics accounts won't usually be listed as terminals or on trucking company websites, but the trucks assigned to those accounts will be "based" at that location. Just a couple of the hundreds of examples are grocery warehouses or Walmart Distribution Centers. These accounts won't be listed on websites, but various trucking companies may have 100 trucks based at those locations.Olsmann Thanks this.

So do you suggest if I apply at one of these (or any other) That I ask first if the have any openings for dedicated in my area? Or is that pushing it for a newbie?
