I have a Class A Cdl

If you already have your CDL A, then why would you think that you would need to attend a school?
A little bit more information, please:
How long have you had your CDL A? How much actual driving experience do you have? What kind of trucks have you driven? How many trucking companies have you worked for?

Thanks. Hopefully we can help

 

A lot of companies want recent OTR or school experience before they will hire a driver.

I had two students in my CDL class last summer that already had a class A CDL, but couldn't get a job without a "recert" from a school.

They both had extensive OTR experience but had been out of the game for several years.

 

You'll not have much luck finding OTR companies accept your military experience. Thank you for your service brother! Fellow OIF Vet here. As for OJT companies for OTR I don't know man as I'm just now getting in the game and I need school, check Prime though I think they have an OJT deal without school and possibly Watkins-Shepard ? Knight/Squire too possibly. Swift possibly but they are mostly a newbie company from what I gather. That's who I'm going with for my training. Good luck!

 

Thanks. That was why I was asking for more information. A refresher course is usually half the price for half of the course.

I would suggest, since you live in AZ, that you try driving Coach Tour Buses.
I have a friend,in AZ,that drives musicians to and from their appointments. He gets paid very well and has many perks and benefits with the job.
Try a yellowpage.com search for your area.

Best of Luck!!!!!!!!

 

Hey, I report the 31st to their academy in Millington TN. Total newb here so going through their 4 week schooling first. If that goes all well and get hired on, then a 6 week OTR with a trainer deal, then solo. I looked at Prime first, but unfortunately they weren't hiring out of FL. Kicken Chicken's idea sounds tops, I'd look at that for sure.

 

There are several companies that will accept you military service and experience, they would be crazy not too. Several have M ilitary Only recruiters, so Keep looking. There also many smaller companies that will accept your experience. I am sorry I cant be more helpful. I have been retired from the Army for 16 years now, drove in the Army for 22. Walked into a job the day I retired.

Thank you for your service,
