Gaining Experience as a new CDL holder?

Good evening everyone, I obtained my class A in December of 2022 and never got a job under this license because I used my B. How do I gain experience as a tractor trailer driver if all these jobs need experience? Where can I start my journey? I got my license through a regular driving school

 

Don't worry, we'll get you rolling.
Which town/city are you in or near in New York?
Do you have endorsements?
OTR or Regional ok with you?

 

Jamaica NY. I was just hoping for something local but I figured that may not be possible

 

OK, I'll list some companies I think will hire you. Even if the website says you need experience, apply anyway.
Many companies will hire drivers in your situation and put you in the truck with a trainer for a few trips.

The short apps. on each website are ok to submit.
