Is there any company that will put me through training and give me regional or local after training?

    I cant go over the road for personal reasons, but i could run regional, or local

    I'd really love to work with a heavy wrecker service, but i dont have any experience doing that

    Sometimes Reinhart hires with only a CDL permit, then trains the permit holder OJT with a driver trainer.

    These do the same:
    Sygma Network
    Gordon Food Service
    McLane Company

    They say they require a CDL with experience

    Try beer distributers. A friend of mine got his that way. It's hard work though.

    A guy in Georgia just posted last week he was hired by Sygma Network as a driver trainee with a cdl permit. I've seen their ads in the past for CDL Permit holders.You may not be close enough to a terminal. Policies change and isn't always on the websites.

    Gordon has a warehouse in Imperial, PA

    Sometimes you have to be aggressive and show up in person.

    All the places I've listed have had ads for hiring cdl permit holders.
