I'm returning to trucking. Please help me decide where to go.

Girton Propane Service hires new cdl grads on a case by case basis. They haul agricultural chemicals and based in Kansas. They don't advertise they hire new cdl grads.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Put your resume on "Indeed" website and probably get some job offers.
Love's sometimes hires new cdl grads even though their website has "2 yrs. experience required." A few drivers that post on here went right to work pulling tankers there, right out of school. Another a week or so ago posted Love's called him about a tanker job.
Love's has two ads on Indeed right now. Go to Indeed website and enter "tanker driver" and "Oklahoma City,OK" and you'll see the ads. You can also post your resume there.

 

Here's one for company driver:
Cardinal / Greatwide Logistics - $60,000 a year
Full-time CDL truck drivers are eligible for:. $60k+ year, $4000 Sign on Bonus.

Here's another good one for Saia Freight Line Haul.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Oklahoma City, OK 73129
(405)672-7500
Line Haul Drivers operate various tractor-trailer combinations for extended periods of time, over long distances, between company terminals or yards, company facilities and customer facilities or work sites to pick up, transport, and deliver freight.
My buddy works for Saia in another state and they stay in hotels on the road. You may be tired of all that since you drove tour buses.

DOT Foods in Ardmore. Choose transfer driver if you don't want to break down freight. Home at least weekly, 55k min to start. Message me if you want more info.

 

He is giving you a little bit of love here.

Your list pretty much cuts half the potential pool of trucking in your area.

There should be a McKesson yard full of trailers loaded and rolling provided you can use the MC Carrier DOT number on the side of the unmarked tractors to trace the employer and apply with same. You run out overnight. deliver at sunrise (Staying in your cab, million dollar plus value loads...) and they reload you bales of cardboard in 15 minutes, off you go. Back to the McKesson yard, drop hook another load off you go.

 

I understand how he feels. I'd rather be OTR driving a nice truck that's set up for driver comfort; television hookups, refrigerator, and most important, a Tripac APU. Let someone else have the hotel room, I'll sleep in the truck.
We had a choice during a 34 hr. reset; $50.00 cash or a hotel room . I always took the cash.

 

I forgot about DOT. Thanks for that!

 

DOT Company is not where I want to be. Despite my love and glutton for punishment lumping...

 

If you didn't completely read the post I did say to run transfer if you don't want to throw freight.
