    Hi,
    My husband and I are finishing up our CDLs at the local tech college. We are looking for company recommendations around our area (Atlanta GA) that are hiring recent grad teams for OTR. Thanks

    SVTN and CTL Transportation are good ones.

    Old Dominion would probably be the best; they recently started hiring new CDL graduates.

    After those 3, look at these:

    Tyson Foods
    Tribe Transport
    Cedar Creek Trucking
    US Express
    Covenant (need hazmat)
    Super Service

    Even if websites have "experience required" apply anyway through the online application and follow with a phone call in a few days.

    Most likely to succeed with Old D I would guess .

    they had room for growth and benefits last I checked.

    be very careful and lookout for companies where you've maxed out the day you've started
    and growth stops on day one.
    Too many of these places just want warm bodies holding a wheel
