Old Dominion Freight Line hires new grads from select cdl school.

If you prefer local work, home every day, maybe Carmyn has something for you.

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.
