Any chance to get on with Old Dominion, Fed Ex or UPS after 6 months?

You probably have better odds at playing the power ball, but who knows stop asking questions and put in an App. You never know. Somebody might call you back.

 

Doubt it. All 3 of these places want at least a years experience, and even then all of them are difficult to sign on with.. But hey give it a shot, put in an application. What have you got to lose?

 

Move to Indy for FedEx
Move to Louisville for ups

Offer to run hazmat team they are always in needm. Trucking school counts as "1yr exp" for everyone but privates.

 

Also old dominion in Indi is BOOMING right now.

 

Dress up, print your resume, go in. Hound them till they call the police.

I'm not kidding. Persistence pays off.

 

All you can lose is the time it takes to fill out the application!

 

Ignore any and all "experience required signs"...go see the folks in person , and tell them you want a job....go look at them , don't just do the on-line app's....going to see them means much more than you can ever imagine. No guarantee's , but you'll stand a much better chance of getting in the door and working , if you spend the time / gas / and shoe leather to go see them.......it could very well mean getting hired , or just getting your app placed in a "file".....

 

Old Dominion didn't have an online app, had to go in person to fill out a paper app. Make sure to bring 10 years of employment history,OD told me they need all ten years of employment history even if its totally unrelated to driving to look for gaps in employment. I believe they also needed to know the dates of any moving violations in the past 3-5 years and the dates of any accidents also . I brought my resume, but I also had a typed up and neat copy of my 10 year employment history printed up to attach to the resume. It looks good on your part when you come prepared and organized.

Estes here in Elgin IL is hiring LineHaul drivers,not sure of your location but they are a LTL.
Conway has a student driver program you can apply for right out of school,also.

Good luck!

 

Fed Ex has a lot of contractors. They do not require experience. Just have your doubles and triples along with your hazmat.
