I finish off my driving hours for my school Monday.
My question: What companies will hire a CDL school grad at 21? I'm looking to go OTR and in a few years I would like to become an owner op and lease on. Any companies that come to mind, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!!

Most people are going to ask what area you are in or what area are you living in or where it is that you want to be drop off for your home time in order to better guide you with your decision.
Though I can not fully recommend any company per se I can at least tell you who NOT to go with or who to stay away from though I am sure there will be people hear that will disagree. Its a fairly short list for me but here:
Werner (Things may be getting better here as the old owner has come back)
JB Hunt
CR England
Watkins and Sheapard
Knight (though I am told that things are getting better there I can not confirm for my self)
Pretty much all starter companies are kind of a pain but like anybody will tell you it all depends on what you can live with.Kickstand-117 Thanks this. -
I went with TMC myself. I believe you are in their hiring area. Have a read through my TMC experience thread and see what you think. I can promise you this. TMC recruiters are spot on in what they tell you. Ive not been able to find a single point in which my recruiter lied or failed to tell me something inaccurate.

tarping and flatbedding go hand in hand. TMC tarps around 80% of their loads. You get paid for it, but its part of being in flatbedding.
Kickstand-117 Thanks this. -

Tarping a load is all in the manner that you tarp. Its physical yeah, but there are ways one can go about it to make it easier on themselves. Its about doing it right the first time.
