You must be honest about the types of vehicles drive, really about everything. With a Class "A" you do not need school, just a company that will send you out with a road trainer. Most major carriers can do this, and not just the bottom feeders. Good luck.
-
I'm in pretty much the same situation you're in. There's no way I'd go to trucking school, I think you just need to do some creative wording on your resume/application, or get on with a bottom feeder to get a little experience then jump ship.

You don't have to go with a bottom feeder. Maverick, granted they are flatbed, glass, and temp, offers road driver training with a valid CDL. Prime is the same, although they are not a bottom feeder they are only a few steps away. I think Averitt offers road training, Roehl, I am sure others, just do research find a couple of companies that interest you and then post questions about those selected on here.
Good luck. -
Yea sounds like I need to find a company that has you ride with a trainer. Thanks for all the information. Are dedicated route jobs typically home daily or are they the same as OTR except it's the destinations
-
That depends on the particular account. At one time I had a dedicated account from Salinas Ca. to Jersey City New Jersey.
