There’s a few oversize heavy haul companies that hire rookies right out of CDL school
and have a 6 to 9 month training period where you ride with a experienced driver
at half pay .

But they are real selective about who they hire .
Pretty extensive background check on the driver and spouse and siblings and parents etc
Gotta have good credit ,
Zero criminal history, spotless driving record etc

still doesn’t pay that good for the extra hassle

guy I know averages about 90 cents a mile , but it beats hauling a dry van and dealing with shippers and receivers etc

Hey I'm Actually at ATS now and I'd be willing to do that if it meant I could get the experience I need. I just wanna get some experience and then move on to being an owner of making my own money.

Listing these companies would help a young buck like myself. I can't wait 5 years to get into heavy haul here at ATS lol
