    I recently acquired my permit but I don't have a truck to take the test in. I spoke with one company that will hire with a permit only. Any others?

    I have 4 years experience but that was about 8 years ago.

    Cut & paste from your other thread. You have to , by federal law, attend cdl school. There's no other choice. Correct me if I'm wrong. Which company offered you a job with a permit only?
    I'd recommend KLLM Transport as a first choice.

    I am grandfathered in and a school is not required.

    Well, I learned something new today. Didn't know about the grandfather clause.
    KLLM is in Jackson, MS

    Unfortunately, I can only pass urinalysis at this time. There is a trucking school in Jackson that hires out to several companies and will send graduates to companies based upon the THC test they are able to pass. They only drive automatic transmissions though.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    There are drivers that can pass any drug test, have a CDL and a clean record not getting hired now. Getting hired with just a CLP is pretty unlikely.
