    it all depends on the location, if they need drivers, your numbers etc.
    I was just turned down for a target dedicated thats close to home, manager said he couldnt take me yet and didnt need drivers. My DL is shopping around for local and dedicated stuff for me right now, some accounts will take you with little experience, some want more etc.

    Best thing to do is network with other drivers, sometimes you can hear from others about available positions.
