    JBS Carriers would be better; they run you through Roadmasters CDL school, then you can team if you want. Check their website to see if you're in the hiring area.

    You can run teams with Midwest-Coast Transport; they have their own CDL school.

    Put your location on your profile.

    You may not be in the hiring area for JBS Carriers, but ask anyway.

    Can run teams with Southern Refrigerated Transport - their school is in Texarkana - furnish bus ticket, hotel room, 3 meals a day. Looks like their CDL school is partnered with a local community college CDL program.

    More info:

    Their school is through the University of Arkansas Community College in Texarkana.
    Clarion Hotel is where SRT students stay.

    Smoke Eater, I know Covenant hires guys like you pretty regularly. We've got refresher courses that you can take for free in Chattanooga and will team you up with someone else from your area if you'd like. If you have ur hazmat I'm sure you'd get hired pretty quick. Good luck to you driver!

    US Express is huge on teams.I don't think they have a school,but I would still give them at call.They're liable to hook you up with a refresher course in your area in return for a commitment with them? Never hurts to ask. Good luck and stay safe my friend. ;-)

    I believe US Xpress would make you go out with a trainer for 50 hours as a refresher course.

    If you got a CDL 10 years ago and never got experience its worthless now. At the least you need a refresher course.
