    They're OK to get started, but lots more choices out there.

    How old are you and where is your location? Some companies hire at 21 yrs. old and some don't.

    Are you going to get all the endorsements?
     
    Mhart1472 Thanks this.

    Texas is great for trucking jobs; don't have to settle for just anything in that state.If you have the money, get a passport and TWIC card. Google for nearest TWIC office. This is needed for entry to chemical plants, military bases, sea ports. These look real good on job applications.
    Here's some companies that hire new CDL grads. Some websites may have "experience required" but they bend their own hiring rules for exceptional applicants, so submit the applications if you like what you see on the websites. Most tanker outfits you can make $60K+:
    Tankers
    Groendyke Transport
    Trimac Transportation
    Schneider Bulk
    A&R Transport
    CTL Transportation
    SVTN
    Superior Carriers
    Tidewater Transit

    Reefers/flatbed/dry van
    Freymiller
    Navajo Express
    JBS Carriers
    Melton Truck Lines
    Waggoners Trucking-flatbed/covered wagon/car hauling/specialized
    System Transport
    Magnum Ltd.
    Pride Transport
    Halvor Lines
    Decker Truck Line
    Midwest-Coast Transport
    Coastal Transport - stays in Southwest
    Indian River Transport

    Submit lots of applications.
     
    Mhart1472 Thanks this.
