Not in Las Vegas NV. I have heard of none. But that's not to say there's one or two getting by. Your best bet is not to pay any attention to the 2 years experience and claim you did not see it. Then you've got your foot into the door and do some talking and ask like, is there any company's here that will hire me. Especially if you really like their outfit and you would really like to work for them. Hang around and sooner of later someone will come out and talk with you.

There's several in your area that hire new cdl grads. As @GasHauler posted, ignore "experience required" and apply anyway. The ones on this list definately hire new cdl grads.
McKenzie Tank Lines
Girton Propane Service
Vernon Milling Company - Vernon,AL
Trimac Transportation
Schneider Bulk
CTL Transportation
SVTN
Superior-Carriers
Tidewater Transit
All these, except maybe Girton and Vernon, haul out of Savannah port. I think Superior-Carriers has a terminal in Augusta.
Anyway, all these hire new cdl grads. Get the TWIC ID Card also. Google for nearest TWIC office. TWIC is for entry to many chemical plants, rail yards, sea ports, military bases.lagging Thanks this. -
I got hired on to pull tanks right out of trucking school years back. Got on with a local waste company pumping out commercial grease traps and sewers. Not the most desirable job but it beat going OTR and I was home every night. I got used to the smell and did it for a year then started hauling gas. You could try local trap recycling outfits or a septic service. My company had us running during the day bc that's when the waste water treatment centers were open and we made 2/3 trips there a day. Some outfits run at night bc some of the big restaurant grease traps are in the parking lots beneath man hole covers. If you have a strong stomach and don't mind work- believe me it's VERY physical then I'd knock on those doors too.

Well I don't mind physical work. I work for moving companies the past 3 summers and I will say I enjoy it more than I enjoy sitting in a college classroom

Eagle Transport out of Augusta, GA hired one of the students that was in my class from May 2015 and he said that they paid very well. Paul Gumpter was the driver from my class. Fuel transportation company.

Any expert truckers want a cdl partner to share your talents? It's hard for me to get into trucking company's they all want experience. I'm trying to find anew experience class 1 driver that he can share his talent on the road.

It seems to be easier getting a tanker job out east, south right out of trucking school.. it is way more difficult out here in california, that was my plan but it's not gonna happen so Ima have to do 1 year of experience with a company before I go to my local gas tanker company..

Try ltl that's actually the route I'll probably end up going but I'm really interested in driver tankers but i would love to be home every night

Or food service if you don't mind the manual labor
