Leave Amazon for Prime? (employment gap)

LTLs are a option if you wanna stay local. Most may have you go threw their dock to driver program. But its worth it if you wanna stay local. I heard certain areas Old Dominion was hiring recent grads and putting them straight to the city. Not sure if its true but definitely something to check out.

 

Well, you didn't mention the type of driving you want. Local, regional, OTR, dry van, reefer, tanker, etc.
Kinda difficult to lend suggestions when you've given so little to go on.
All that said, "I think" you should also check out Swift. They are a better company to work for than their reputation with other drivers typically have. Almost every company will have drivers who like the company and others who hate it. So, always take the opinion of others, including mine, with a grain of salt. Your experience with them may be quite different than others. Both good or bad. When I went with Swift, it was more of a subjective gut, intuitive thing than any measurable quantitative thing. Fortunately, for me, my gut worked well. No company is prefect, but Swift has fit me well and I'm in no hurry to move elsewhere. But, my priorities and experiences probably differ from many others. Regardless, again, I think you should see if Swift has what you're looking for.
Good luck to you driver wherever you end up!

I think you'll be hired; this company has their own cdl school also, so that shows they hire drivers with little, to no, experience
