    Keep in mind, every company I've listed for you has hired new cdl graduates. Some don't hire every applicant and are very selective. Just because the website may have "experience required" doesn't mean they go by that. If you like the company, apply.

    I meant as far as the recruiters coming to campus with the brand new flashy trucks with dish and a flat screen. Like they're going to start a rookie off in that.
    I'm just paranoid I suppose. And against big business

    Just bring your questions right here. When they offer you a Dollar General account, you come here and immediately and discuss.

    Huge turnover on those accounts; can't keep drivers. Driver unload, no docks to back in to, lots of bumping into cars in parking lots which causes driver to be fired, then they have a serious problem finding employment with other trucking companies.
    Drive by a few Dollar stores and then picture having to back a sleeper truck with a 53 ft. trailer to the back door of that store.
