    Fairly new here and I’m looking at a couple opinions on my current situation. Well i am currently 20 years old residing in south and i been wanting to become a trucker for quite awhile maybe since I was 16 well now that I’m up in age I’m wondering are there any companies that hire at 21 and pay for cdl license and training. I make 21 this summer at the End of July. I’m preferably looking for a company that could possibly provide transportation to their training facility and provide lodging due to me not having a running vechicle currently. I feel i am a hard and competitive worker so working for a bad company really won’t concern me much my first year or two because i would buss my ### for any company, and also i’m not concerned with the starting pay because It would be way better than my current situation. I do have a valid driver license and only had one ticket due to a burnt headlight, Also have a twic hard if that helps. Any insight please
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Several companies hire 21 yrs. old drivers for their school, plus provide meals, lodging, transportation & some give free hair follicle drug tests & some only urine drug tests. If you've done any pot or whatever within the last 12 months, avoid the hair follice test.
    Online Transport
    Contract Freighters (www.cfidrive.com)
    Prime Inc.
    Carter Express
    Roehl Transport
    Maverick Transportation
    Wil-Trans
    Jim Palmer Trucking
    FFE (Frozen Food Express)
    KLLM Transport

    @Chinatown When do you think is a good time to start applying ? I make 21 at the end of July. Urine is clean but I don’t think i’ll pass the hair even tho i been clean for a while now and also won’t even think about any drugs or alcohol once hired on somewhere. Any help ?

    Apply in July.
    Pretty sure Prime and Jim Palmer just do urine test. That's what their drivers have posted on here.
    You can start studying now so you're better prepared. Scroll to the top of this page and click on
    "CDL Practice Tests". Click on those 3 horizontal bars and you'll see it.
     
    DaLongWay Thanks this.

    @Chinatown Appreciate you helping out. Pay isn’t really my top concern for my first year because whatever i’ll be making would be better than what i have now so i’m open to any schools really. But i’ll look into in and hope the best. I just have to pass time to july Lol

    Wil-Trans is part of Jim Palmer and Wilson Logistics. Maybe Wil-Trans has merged with Wilson Logistics.
