Just got my Class A

Check with the less than truckload (LTL) carriers like SAIA, Old Dominion to see if they have any openings for someone with 6 months experience.
Food service such as Reinhart, SYSCO, US Foodservice as most road drivers do not like to work freight. Cement truck and dump truck will be hiring in the spring if you don’t find anything before then.

 

I hope everything works out for you.

 

I suggest you learn to weld. I can't say I know anyone who has sacrificed home time for great pay. Only cause thats all available or trying to run from something.
Good Luck!

 

You need the Craigslist postings. You are really wanting to work as a company driver for a Company not a trucking company. One of the outfits that deliver to their own stores. Fastenal is such a company but I do not know if they have a warehouse near you. Also the auto parts stores and such are good places to look into. Not knowing Virginia limits what I can tell you.

 

You could try some of the local feed mills like cargill or george's hauling feed or even driving there live haul trucks. Not sure on there policies. There is a sysco in Harrisonburg too.

 

When you apply, ignore "experience required" and apply anyway.
Many companies hire new CDL grads on a "as needed" basis, but don't advertise it.
