I don't even know where to start, but am trying to find a smaller otr trucking company online, rather than a mega fleet, to work for. The real setback here is, that even though Ive been utilizing my cdl as a dump driver, I technically have no tractor trailer experience (aside from my cdl training in '96) so most likely, if there is a company like that at all, Id like to see about maybe taking a brief refresher course, just to 'brush off the dust'. My experience is in super 12's, 14's, 16's.
Any companies that y'all might be able to suggest?

are you looking to go otr?

Would help if you told us:
What you want. Over the road? Regional? Local?
Where do you live?
Many companies out there. Most aren't megas.
What type of trucking you looking for? Reefer, Tanker, Dry Van, Flat Bed?
As far as training. They'll train you. Just like you just got your CDL. No big deal.
They will train you anyways. Even if you do a refresher.Last edited: Jan 6, 2018

Yes, Id do otr, no problems there. Preferably flatbed, but would start where Im told to start. Trying to avoid those mega fleet companies if I can. Would feel a bit better if I can refresh the backing skills a bit, its been 21 years. Im from the Phoenix area of Az.Thanks.

I would try danny herman. they are out of Tennessee but have a term in nogales. I know a guy who runs dh and lives in phoenix. he goes home regularly cause they run through phoenix a lot. dont get me wrong, he does not stay home, just stops there. he does his home time every 3 weeks.
Need4Speed Thanks this. -
btw, danny herman does not do north east or northwest.

Its going to take some work on your part to search through the trucking database in your area. Then you really need to hang around some local truck stops and talk to some local drivers. That said, getting freight out and back to AZ is easy if you can handle reefer, box or skateboards. The only issue is lack of experience in The present pulling a 53 ft trailer and being able to do Long Hauls. Everyone wants a min of 1 to 2 years exp. Basically, the mega is the first place newbies wind up.

Maybe Paul Transportation will work with you , I don't know , but you can ask. They're flatbed.
