CDL Student - when to start applying??

If you want some big paychecks fast; look at tanker/hazmat.

Schneider Bulk (tankers)
Superior Carriers

Put in several applications; sort through the job offers and pick one. This way you have a job the day you graduate.

 

Don't apply till you got your CDL. The reason I say that is because some companies that pre-hire won't hire you if you fail with the state the road test. Some give you a second chance.

These companies are ALWAYS hiring. No point in filling out applications just yet.
