LTL companies

They will not want a rookie driver. What you can't see is what they are looking for. Those jobs usually go to drivers who have been out there for a couple of years. Your thinking kind of sounds like I want to be a doctor, but can't see going to college all those years. Will anyone hire me as a doctor straight out of high school?

 

I wouldn't drive for just $.26 per mile either. Most companies start you at .32

 

Union companies will hire newbies.They will start you on the dock then you work your way up from there. Check out ABF, they hire newbies and will send you to there school in Fort Smith ,AR for 4 wks then you will be a combo worker. Best of Luck As far AS companies that take newbies with better starting pay,check out CFI/CONWAY TRUCKLOAD I know a guy who went through there program is enjoying it. You can read his post. look up (mikel).Semper Fi

 

Peninsula is supposed to be a good regional company, if you can get on with them. Not sure what their requirements are, but I know they have a terminal in Auburn.

 

there is not an LTL company out there that will not hire new drivers...


even the union companies hire new grads...

heck - ABF has its own school.


we hired about 14 new grads in cincy loast year - they start out at 75% of top rate (56 cents a mile and 23 bucks an hour for all other time).

then in a year go to 80% in 1.5 years 90% and full scale at 2 years.

 

none of our gnew guys worked the dock - all went straight out on road..

so marine 68... what was your mos? I was a 2305 (1st div. command eod tech).
