    Where is your location, not your address, just a zip code or town/city?
    OK, Rhode Island!
    Might get some good job leads started.

    Old Dominion Freight Line hires new grads from select cdl school.
    Won't take long to be in the $100K+ range working there.

    If you prefer local work, home every day, maybe Carmyn has something for you.
    This is a relatively new company and recently hired a new cdl school grad that posted on here.

    Schneider Bulk is the only tanker outfit I know of in your area that might hire you right out of cdl school.
    The other Schneider divisions pay is on the low side, but tanker is ok for new drivers.

    Do you want long-haul jobs or what's your preference?
