    I don't mean to pick on your suggestions, but I've seen some funky McLane drivers, and those guys go to every little alley delivery, and usually, I see McLane trucks at motels, for 2 day runs. They are a lot like Sysco, with a million different products, that will most likely have to be "fingerprinted". $21.52 to start? Pfft, why bother, when Uncle Wally is paying more to stock soup cans. I simply can't take someones word that a truck driver can make $100g's /yr. In my entire career, pay has always been the biggest BS story out there.

    Have the CDL and all necessary endorsements + medical assessment.
    Make photocopies. Built a resume using all previous employers.
    Have references. Ask for school to recommend you to employers.
    Select who do you want to work for and type of work. Apply afterwards. Very simple.
    Good luck. Please come back and share your experience for other drivers.
     
    Vision Thanks this.
