    Maybe I'm looking at the wrong Superior then?

    http://www.superiortanklines.com/employment/

    Employment shows either southwest or northwest opportunities.

    Aha! I was on the wrong site. I'm checking out their application process now, but I don't meet the experience qualification. Think I'll apply anyway and see what happens - I like shiny tanks! :)

    You don't need experience; just a certificate from a school on their list.
    Many trucking websites aren't up to date; for example Freymiller has 6 mos. experience required and Magnum Ltd. has 1 yr. experience required on the websites, but in fact they both hire new cdl grads.

    Well I just finished applying to Superior and Venizia - it's nice that a lot of the companies use the same application service so my data is prefilled! Below is what I'm pasting into the fields asking how much experience I have for each truck type:

    None - starting CDL-A school on 1/25/16 and have my CDL-A permit (with all truck related endorsements) already.

    Thanks for all your help @Chinatown

    What are the Qualcomms like at May Trucking Company and do they have Macros? An onboard GPS for the route?
