    Edit your profile and put your town in there. I am betting it is Phoenix but it helps.
    Chinatown will give you the list. Getting a dedicated run right out of the box is usually something hard to do. The older guys like them. Now if it is something that has a lot of unloading you might be able to get one quickly. Knight is big there. Don't know of all the companies.

    Just be careful there is a guy in Phoenix who is driving around and calling in to report any trucker that is not in the lane he thinks they should be.
     
    Longarm and KnoxFox23 Thank this.

    I'll Private Message luvtotruck, he lives in Phoenix and will know. I'll do some looking also.

    Navajo is an OTR company, but sometimes they have a dedicated route. Their website will show if any dedicated routes are open.

    Watkins & Shepard has a terminal in Phoenix, check with them. They have many dedicated customers.

    Once you get that diploma, you're not stuck with any company. Seems like luvtotruck said Schneider is building a huge terminal in Phoenix, which means they must have some dedicated customers in the pipeline in that area.

    Hey Partner there are several that have dedicated routes here in Phoenix, You will have to load and unload, And Watkins and Shepard may just have a Route or a local run where they gather furniture back to the terminal, Why don't I PM you tomorrow and tell you more that I can think of, I just got home from a concert and my head is pounding so I'm not up on my all thought processes right now. Let me sleep on it!.

    Will you love me forever?

    I couldn't take it any longer....
    Lord I was crazed
    And when the feeling came upon me
    Like a tidal wave
    I started swearing to my god
    And on my mother's grave
    That I would love you to the end of time
    I swore I would love you to the end of time
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Knight is a starter company and will higher recent graduates. You will go through a training program with them first then out on your own. The one year refers to licensed drivers not recent graduates.
