21 year old rookie read on please

Only one I can think of right now is Werner. They get a bad rap on here, but I've never worked for them. I think maybe Conway Truckload is still doing some training, but you'd have to call and ask them. I'm not sure if they actually train you, or exactly what their relationship is to the CDL school. Call them though, much better than Werner. Don't bother with Schneider if you are inexperienced, they are only taking veteran drivers right now. Best of luck to you, it may be rough sledding in this biz for awhile.

 

Welcome, good luck to ya. Be safe.

 

Being 21 will probably be an obstacle for you, since most insurance companies require an age of 23, usually.

 

I'm in the same boat you are in right now. I'm 21 as well, but I've been driving off and on for two years. Unfortunately, my two years local experience doesn't count for OTR. So, when it comes to OTR I'm dead even with every other newbie. My recommendation would be to find a local (in your area) OTR company and give them a try.

 

Just to add on here, I got turned down by Con-Way today. I even asked them about being trained as a rookie and they still declined.

 

Swift hires at 21.

 

Mid roofs have room.......

Do you realize how many times this same line is handed to trucking companies per day ???

Do you know the character associations that are "automatically" applied to an incoming driver who makes this comment ???

I'm sitting here with a 5 gallon can of gas, I would like to use on this thread...on that one comment. But I won't.

 

They have a terminal in Gary IN. They are not as bad as the other starter companies like CR England or Werner.
