South ga north fl.

Don't know where you're at, but I'm in Albany and I went to Albany Tech. Then I went with Schneider and they reimbursed my tuition. They have a dedicated account at Miller Brewing that would get you home every weekend if you're interested and they have an opening.......but you might have to go OTR for the first few months.
I started with Schneider over 4 years ago and haven't looked back. All megas aren't the same and all are not bad. Schneider has been very good to me and I have no intention of ever going anywhere else. It ain't all sunshine and lollypops, but nothing in trucking is.

Good luck

 

How far are you from Jacksonville?

All the above hire new cdl grads fresh out of school.
You will need tanker/hazmat endorsement and TWIC ID Card. Google for nearest TWIC office. TWIC ID Card is for entry to sea ports, military bases, chemical plants, rail yards.

 

I believe Epes moved into RBI's building right across from Lowes DC......they might have some dedicated positions over there.

 

I've delivered to the K-Mart in Valdosta a few times; produce and frozen food.
Are you interested in tankers?

 

If you want solid advice and have an interest in tankers then start with Chinatown's list...It doesn't get any better than that..Start now in getting all your endorsements put on your CDL-B..Haz-mat & Twic card take a few weeks so do it now.
Schneider Bulk will put you on tankers after 6 months...or if you had 3 months experience driving..

 

Yes, that's been awhile. I remember the K-Mart guy on the dock saying they may be closing. I was pulling reefers coast to coast back then before I switched to tankers.
If you want the big bucks, go right into tankers out of school.
Here's some more outfits if you're interested and they all hire new grads. If the website has "experience required" then the website isn't up to date. Since your school is 8 weeks, submit applications during the 5th week. Submit as many as you want; the more the better; then choose the best offer.
