I just got my Class A CDL with hazmat/tanker and double/triples endorsements, but I spent the last 10 years on the road as a Class B CDL driver working in chemical and oil and gas plants, so I have zero desire to work OTR anymore. I know the general rule of thumb is you have to work 6 months to a year for a mega carrier OTR before a local company will hire you, but I also know companies like US Xpress will hire you fresh out of school for home daily jobs on Walmart and Meijer accounts. Unfortunately neither of those account are available in the Nashville area.
So does anyone know a company with home daily positions that will hire you fresh out of CDL school? If I had my way I would work a line haul job overnights since I prefer to drive at night, but I'll obviously take anything. I've tried Venture Express, who advertises in Nashville a lot, but they said a year of experience, as have several other companies. I don't mind commuting up to an hour to surrounding cities like Lebanon, Clarksville, Goodlettsville, Spring Hill, Columbia, etc. So can anyone here point me in the right direction? I sincerely appreciate it in advance,
Do any companies in Nashville hire new drivers for home daily/line haul accounts?

Bulkmatic has a training program for drivers with Class-A and little to no experience. Not all terminals have the program, but I'd definitely try.
There's a terminal in Hopkinsville and some type of facility in Nashville. I'd go apply in person.
