    Pay is low. You have access to many companies in Atlanta. Why choose one of the lowest paying companies?

    CTL is OK to get tanker experience, but there's others to choose from also:

    Schneider Bulk
    Superior Carriers
    Trimac Transportation
    Tidewater Transit
    Groendyke Transport
    SVTN

    Apply to all of them, then pick the best job offer.

    thankyou.didn't know pay was low. I am trying to find a regional route job based out of Atlanta but only working /driving in Georgia and florida. due to family and life commitments I cant do over the road for more than 4-5 days at a time . I have been phoning a lot of companies and they all want 10-20 day overnight OTR drivers. 3 out of 25 companies called would do regional out of Atlanta, one of them was ccc and ctl.

    You looking for tankers then CCC or CTL is about it for new CDL grad.

    Maverick Transportation is real good for decent paychecks and home weekends.

    More home weekends:

    Decker Truck Line - flatbed
    CT Transportation - flatbed
    McElroy - flatbed
    Jordan Carriers - flatbed
    Builders Transportation Co. - flatbed
    Ozark Motor Lines - Van

    Maverick would be the best.

    What type of trucking are you interested in?

    You can pretty much right your own ticket in Atlanta for any type of trucking. Schneider will snatched you up in a minute and more than likely give you regional and possibly local in their bulk division.

    Reference the companies that Chinatown mentioned, make contact with them RIGHT NOW and let them know your intentions. Inform your instructors, break out that phone book, hang out where the truckers are and work your gift of gab. There are MANY companies there that are under the radar that will hire you right out of school.
