    Hello i recently passed my road test July 15, all this time I been talking with Schneider because they have an account that is home daily and open for any CDL holders and I know they provide more training for 3 weeks for new drivers. They ran my MVR and I just need to give them a call to set up a start date. Yesterday I spoke with a J.B. hunt recruiter and told me they have a position for new drivers (intermodal , home daily)and will spend time 4-6 weeks with a trainer. But from my understanding J.B. doesn’t provide additional training and need atleast 2 months experience to work for them. So my question is do you guys think the offer from J.B. might be legit? I don’t want to show up and fail something with the driving part and not get hired.
    Thank you guys, I’m also new to the forums.

    It is a good thing to start your career with a local gig.
    You’ll get lots of practice backing, loading and just getting use to trucks and traffic interactions. Plus being home is nice.
    Later you’ll have more confidence for when/if you decide to go on the big highway.

    What ever you feel comfortable with just go ahead and do it personally i did exactly that started off on straight trucks doing local deliveries then expanded to semi's doing grocery runs then on to change overs and shipper to receiver work, then OTR. We're all different and what suits one driver might not suit the other so really it comes down to what you feel comfortable with.

    Welcome!
    I might have misunderstood but t sounds like you are concerned about a road test with J.B. I also took your post to mean that you already have your cdl. If so, you shouldn’t have any problems with a road test. Few megas are very strict about that and even in those cases, you will usually get a few tries.

    Sorry, I forgot to actually answer your question: Yes, the offer is legit. As always though, make sure you and the recruiter are on the same page about exactly what job you’re interested in.
