I got my class A in the summer of 2021. I went on to work for waste management because I went so long without work, I had to take something quick. Well, I’ve left waste Management looking for class an experience. Went on the road with Wiley Sanders because they were one of the only ones who would take me without a refresher course (another $2k). Training pay was so awful, I couldn’t survive. So now I’m looking at Swift, if they’ll take me. I’m sure I’ll hear back from them Monday. Does anyone have any recommendations for regional companies in lower AL/MS? I just need the experience then I can go local doing hazmat, but I’ve run into so many problems because it’s been so long since I graduated.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Beginner companies?

Lower AL/MS?
Then you should definitely know about (and check out) AMX, in Ashford, AL:
Driver Qualifications - Alabama Motor Express (amxtrucking.com)
I see their rigs a lot.
They have above average reviews.
They recently started their own CDL school--so if you have several months in, they should consider you (assuming your record is clean).

So, you're from LA....Lower Alabama!
tscottme and bryan21384 Thank this. -

R. E. West Transportation
If you have your CDL but don't have any experience...
If you are a driver who has obtained their CDL via a trucking school or self-study and testing via a 3rd party tester but don't have at least 6 months of experience, R. E. West has a program that can help you as well. Again, we start by completing our hiring process. Once hired, we work with you to evaluate your skill level and place either in our on-yard training program to brush up on the basics or put you with one of our driver trainers. Once with a driver trainer you will spend, at most, three weeks out on the road working through our training manual. After you complete your time with your on-the-road trainer, you will do a final road test and then be issued your own truck

If you think you might like to try flatbed--say 'hello' to these guys (based in Natchez, MS):
Jordan Carriers | Flatbed Trucking and Brokerage Services
Again....as before....they have above average reviews.
What makes them unique is they have a "wind" division....which would later give you some oversized load experience (no tarping!)
