    South Louisiana, 26 years old ready to go to class to obtain class a. Is it worth it? Are there any companies out there that will hire newly obtained license holders? Eager to learn and work for anyone that’s willing to give me the opportunity. I love driving and this is a career that’s always been on my radar, but if no one at all will hire me without experience is it just a waste of time? How did you guys go about? Thanks

    Plenty of companies will hire you so get that CDL and most importantly, get all the endorsements. More difficult to find a job with no endorsements. Even reefer companies prefer drivers with all the endorsements, especially Hazmat. For example, you might hall a load of produce out of California heading East, then the next load available is cans of paint. Paint requires a hazmat endorsement.

    Have you already started cdl school? If so, how many hours is the school? Preferably 160 hours or more.
    Are you interested in trucking company cdl school or will you attend a private cdl school in your area?

    Find the job that will hire you BEFORE going to CDL school.
    Your best odds happen if you have no felonies, no speeding tickets, no accidents, no DUI, no drug use for 6 months. IGNORE all talk of driver shortage.
