    Wow, really? OD is plucking new grads? Good for them. I have a buddy who wants nothing more than to work for them. He has the experience but each time he contacts them here in Florida they tell him they're not hiring. As far as I know he hasn't filled out an application, just made a few phone calls.

    They're not hiring new CDL grads everywhere or often.

    U running their road or local? I have a friend that runs road out of Greensboro. He's one who filled me in on why they decided not to hire me. Just wanted to get dock guys a chance. Hate company wasting my time with interview, road test n than decide going to let dock guys get cdl training. Its all good happy where I am.
