    Hey guys I'm in cdl a school currently hear in pa ( Allentown ish aria ) just started my driving seasons so will be graduating in next couple weeks

    What I'm having trouble with is finding companies that specifically run primarily between pa and maine ( as far up 95 as possible but up to Bangor is most likely as high as they go regularly ) ideally the job I'm looking for your be regional or dedicated , run some real miles because I want to learn as much as I can and be on 5-8 days home 2 , I have tanker n doubles endorsement but would like to start with dry , reefer or flat to start for few months before doing tank

    ( so far have applied to schnider Werner and pottles )


    I know that pa to maine wouldn't be the only route id be running , but I had bought land all the way up at top of 95 in Maine and would really like the benifet of doing 34 hr reset up that way once a month or so. That way could clean up the driveway there and set up camp with power and water and camper on the new land .


    Thanks in advance for your help

    That's a tough one, but maybe that route is out there. Lots of drivers on this forum from up that way.
    In the meantime, try these that hire new cdl grads:
    Eastern Freightways
    Wadham's Enterprises
    Prime Inc. - tanker division has a Northeast regional route.
     
    OhNoMrBear Thanks this.

    Figured id take an extra sec to clarify , I don't really care where I drive in between but would like the option when taking 34 he reset to b either in maine ( and somewhere I could park an extra car at so when I leave truck to take 2-3 he drive north to my new property I wouldn't need to find an uber or something like that )or home in pa
