    Unless the rules have changed, Greatwide requires 12 months experience.
    Lots of regional jobs available or home weekends.

    Look at container companies. I got with a small company with almost no experience. You could get out and backs to charleston, savannah and Wilmington. They are desperate for driver and the smaller companies will work with you on the experience.

    I believe should inquire with any company that seems appealing per your framework. After all, what are they going to say? No? Keep looking. You can get a good start with a company of your choice, but it's probably going to take some perseverance. Go for it!

    Hazmat, tanker, doubles triples.

    yank a tank or start out LTL old dominion if they are hiring at a terminal near you.

    check out Schneider tankers and other tanker companies that take on students. There out there. China's got a list somewhere.

    I spoke with my neighbor today. He works at Greatwide freight in Anderson,SC and within the last year he has trained two drivers straight out of school and said they hired one today from the school I'm attending in January. I am leaning hard toward them from what he has told me about the company and how they operate, plus it's only about a 20 min drive from the house. Old Daminion is only hiring in Atlanta which is about 2.5 hrs from me, seems like a great company also.
