    Ill be graduating trucking school in about two weeks from swtdt in Tucson, Az. Ill be obtaining doubles and triples as well as tanker and hazmat endorsements. I've been doing quite a bit of research on the companies the school has been pitching and most of them seem to be talked down on these forums. I understand I have to get some time under my belt before I can roll with the best but can anyone point me in the right direction? Any companies that aren't nationally recognized that hire students in my area? Any advice would be great!

    You should be in a good area to be hired by a company that hauls freight of your choice. Decide do you want, dry van , flat bed , tanker? Then call some from local yellow pages ask what they require of you. Make them a goal if you don't qualify now. Prime trains for flatbed.

    I know KK W is pretty busy right now. They pay by the hour to shuttle trailers between Phoenix and Indio
    Just talk to one of the drivers last week in Coachella at the truck stop

    He does one turn a day Monday through Friday and gets paid by the hour
