    Does anyone know if companies still hire with no experience up there?
    I just obtained my CDL on my own and have no experience. I live in texas in the DFW area but most companies out west need experience and no longer offer per diems or man camps because of the surge of population. 2 years ago I went to midland but I only had my permit and companies told me they would hire if I had the license. Now 2 years later I have it up but from the looks of it they all want experience.

    MBIENERGYSERVICES.COM hires CDL grads. They don't pay as well, I heard around 21. Housing is around 700 a month for a shared room but you can get lucky and get your own room.

    It just hit me that an almost 8 week wait for a test is almost as long as the school (program) was, witch was a 8 week course....:biggrin_2555:

    I put myself out there on a different site i will not name as i don't know if it's against the rules or not, but i think it would be in bad taste anyway, where you can apply to numerous company's more or less with one click of the mouse, and my mail and phone started blowing up, witch is reassuring, after talking to these recruiters it's all good but it still all comes down to my dog being a problem.....
