Hey everyone, I already have my Class A CDL Learners and I will be starting driving school this summer. I live in Richmond, VA and I'm interested in a Regional or Local job. I have a few questions and I'm hoping you guys can help me out. First, are there any regional or local companies that hire recent cdl grads with no experience? Also, as a new driver what questions should I be asking the recruiters? I am open to OTR but I need the terminal to be in Virginia

Make sure you add doubles/triples, tanker, and hazmat endorsements to your license. you will have many more options available to you when the time comes to apply for driving positionsLast edited: Jun 14, 2018
Nicole91 Thanks this. -
Yes, get those endorsements and probably get a premium job with Old Dominion Freight Lines. This company hires new cdl grads. Ask if they hire from the school you plan to attend.
For OTR or regional, Abilene Motor Express in Richmond hires new cdl grads for that.Nicole91 Thanks this. -
I did some research for ODFL and its a problem I have one felony on my record from 2013 and I may not be able to get a hazmat endorsement until 2020 but I am interested in Abilene Motor Express do you know if they hire with a prior felony conviction?Texas_hwy_287 Thanks this.

A felony doesn't disqualify you from getting a hazmat endorsement. A few may disqualify you, but most don't.
Abilene will probably hire you and also Central Transport will probably hire you.
Abilene has the reputation as a decent company for drivers.Nicole91 Thanks this. -
Thank you. My conviction was within seven years back in 2013 do you think I should still apply for HazMat? Its a link below.
