Hi all, first post here
The location is Lexington, KY, I went to a private CDL Academy here, I have all my endorsements except Hazmat and I have a TWIC Card
I take my CDL Road Test on Wednesday, I do anticipate passing, what are some good offers for companies in my area? It's really hard to find companies hiring in this area specifically, or companies which have a terminal nearby, as TenStreet doesn't sort by that very well.
I've gotten a couple offers from companies such as Ryder (home daily), McElroy, Schneider (Dedicated), and a company called AWL Transportation. Just trying to gauge which company is best to jump in and get my feet wet, I plan on working for a company for a year or more to get some experience and then going to go Owner Operator, as I actually own a paid off 2020 579 from my late father (his passing is what got me into wanting to do this); and leasing myself out to Schneider or Landstar. But that's for a later discussion for now, I want to get my foot in the door and learn the lay of it all

If you go McElroy, you'll learn how to back a spread axle given they're a flatbed company. If you learn to back a spread axle, you can back any truck. Also, you're in Lexington. You're in a good running lane. Pretty any company will hire you.

What home time does AWL offer?

blairandgretchen and Chinatown Thank this.

Check with US Xpress. Website says 3 mos. experience required, but don't go by that. They're hiring a few new grads and has some dedicated with lots of home time.

Get 30 mos. experience with the Walmart account, then switch over to driving a real Walmart truck and make average $110,000.00 per year. Can actually get 30 mos. with about any company and do that.

What are you looking to do? Have any interest in flatbed/step deck work? Maybe hoppers?
