    What are you looking for?

    The best ones you have to get on a list. And believe it or not the list does move. Especially if you stay in touch with people.

    There's a plethora of trucking jobs in Phoenix.

    You looking to go hourly and stay closer to home, or hit the open road?
     
    Lav-25 and roadglide11 Thank this.

    Go down to teamsters 104 and introduce yourself.
    ABF, USF, Safeway, and others are in the local.

    Then try FedEx and UPS. Those jobs you gotta do 3 to 5 years in the warehouse first.

    Central, O.D., Saia, and others are there, and they pay pretty good, non union.

    JBHUNT pays pretty good money for intermodal $70+K, Schneider has intermodal too, not sure on the scale.

    Concrete pays about $23 hour.

    Schnieder has local gigs too, day cabs.
    I did a Sprouts account with them, and took home $900 - $1000 week.

    If all that fails, you may be unhirable.

    M-F on a schedule hauling fuel is usally given to the drivers who been there longest.Teton was/ is that way. Remember though , 2 days off and home every day is a good gig , especialy if your making 800 take home weekly. I did the night and wkends and thur- fri off which for me worked great

    If you want training ,UPT and Coastal, but try Loves'( Gemini) or Maverick or Southwest Convience store( 7-11), As long as you have 2 yrs semi driving.
