    Hi beasley, that depends if you have any experience. If no experience, you could probably forget any major carrier, but you may find a local job, like food service, beverage delivery, or trash hauler, that would hire you.

    Far as I know all mega carriers require schooling not just a CDL.Frankly I don't know why, schools are just in it for the money and do very little training.When they go out with a trainer from a company, they are retaught from ground zero.Now the smaller size companies that train but don't advertise like the megas do,you may have a shot at getting hired.
