    Just graduated from my local state school, FSCJ. The program was 320hrs. It was a learning experience and they did pretty well explaining all the basics of driving...
    I've been on this forum quite a lot over the last 8 weeks. I understand the first year is a learning experience and this is when the real learning begins.
    -Anyone know of any good jobs I should start with or have any recommendations??
    -I've been sending my info out with the mega companies and most of them contact me right away.
    Please help, let me know what you guys think and if there are any smaller companies that will hire new drivers???
    Thanks in advanced

    No endorsements yet, but I'll be doing my research this week to start the process.

    Endorsements are money in the bank.
    The best paying companies will require endorsements.
    Also get a passport or passport card for runs into Canada.
