    Swift Transportation has a terminal in Decatur, Ga:

    Swift Trans -- Atlanta terminal page

    They routinely hire & train new CDL holders.

    It's probably best if you submit an app online with them first--then call/follow-up about a week later...if you haven't, already.

    Go get into LTL.

    Estes should hire you.

    Saia will hire anyone. They’re taking brand new drivers straight out of CDL School in Denver and sending them out to Grand Junction and back with 2 weeks of training.

    ABF

    linehaul/ltl is better pay anyhow. Better benefits. Home every day. Weekends off when you get a bid run.

    CMI Trucking in Atlanta.
    Need all endorsements plus TWIC
    Most loads are out and back.
    Money is probably way above average because hauling oversize/overweight loads such as military helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, military trucks, etc. You will be trained at the company for this.
     
    SiiX Thanks this.

    Freight is really slow for dry van right now, so focus on refrigerated and flatbed.
    Foodservice pays really well and should be able to make $80 - $100G the first year.
