    My recruiter told me a lot of stuff that just was/is not true. No surprise there though. I really wanted something local or at least home often. Pay isn't the biggest issue.

    I live in the Houston area and was wondering if anyone knows of a good company that will hire a new cdl driver? I don't want OTR. But dedicated would probably be fine. I just don't want to be away from home forever. Any advice is appreciated.

    well, coming here first would have been a better idea, but, nevertheless
    @Chinatown will hook you up.

    On the back end, DO NOT sign for ANY registered mail.

    Best of luck
     
    Lepton1, YeaImRJ, Omega1 and 2 others Thank this.

    I didn't know about this place before now. I should have done more research but, too late now. Who is @Chinatown? And how would they be able to help me? How would I contact them?

    Here's a decent local outfit. You could have gotten your cdl through this company also.
    Click here > Labatt Food Service
    Go in person to apply will be best.
    If they ask about cdl school debt to CR England, tell them you're going to get the money from a credit union or whatever to pay it off. Ask which credit union Labatt employees use.
