    If you want to run the roads, which is OTR, then Swift Refrigerated has CDL training in Fontana or Salt Lake City.
    You'll make a lot more money with YRC or FedEx though.

    Man, these are sooooo helpful! YRC checks a lot of boxes *mainly* because they're out of South SF. I live on the peninsula. Since there is one company on the peninsula, there are probably others. I'm just having a difficult time finding them because my search method isn't great. Swift has a terminal in the Stockton area, that was the closest I had found before you guys told me about YRC, XPO, and FedEx.

    How would I go about finding other companies with terminals on the peninsula? If I ever go home, I'll need somewhere to leave my truck. That's a big concern. Thanks!

    If you want money, benefits, lots of hometime, then YRC is the place to go.
    OTR is for us that like to run the roads; we call it ''trashin' around"

    You can try "Indeed" website and maybe enter the Zip Code for the peninsula, and see what shows.

    That's exactly what I'm doing but it's not so hot. YRC Freight in South SF didn't show up until I googled "YRC Freight terminals near me". I just tried "Trucking terminals near me" and found a lot, including Con-Way in San Mateo. I'll have to research them when I get a chance. But YRC sounds like a very good fit and not far away.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    FedEx Freight probably a good backup plan if YRC doesn't work out.

    I've been talking to YRC. There are no advertised positions in my local yard (Las Vegas)
    But when I mentioned line haul my options opened up. Recruiter is checking.
    As a heads up..... Recruiter said they have changed the 1 year work requirement after training. It is not required, but no guarantee of a position in your home yard?
    I need to get that explained. Almost sounds like you get trained but have to find your own work without cost for CDL.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Well, you'll have a cdl and school certificate, so if YRC doesn't place you, other companies will.
    YRC will find something for you though. Reddaway or YRC terminal.

    Understood, I just can't get my head around training and not having contract requirement for reimbursement.
