    Plenty of jobs then, now that you say you'll do any type of driving. I don't understand why you're not working now. You have a cdl and your parents paid off your CRST school debt, so nothing holding you back. Even if a company has "experience required" that doesn't mean diddly-sqat today; most companies bend that rule unless there's something in an application that sends up a red flag. Do some applications then follow with a phone call. Your parents spent over $6000.00 paying off your school loan, so get to work.

    Savage is a good outfit. I know a woman that works there fueling locomotives. She hasn't been out of cdl school long.

    They are definitely on my call list. I start school Monday at NTI. So far I've only called a hand full of companies. I'll start calling more next week
