    Are there any local jobs that will take recent TDI graduates right out of school....i would like to stay with a local company if possible instead of going OTR.... i have heard of con-way, usf holland, roadway, abf, saia and central transport to name a few...i was wondering if any would give me a legitimate shot coming straight out of truck driving school?? FEED BACK PLEASE

    Steel Warehouse had a sign up a while back looking for drivers. It said students welcome.

    I think C.R. England usually hires rookie drivers. They have a site in Burns Harbor which is about 1 hr from South Bend.
