    I've seen quite a few companies that will take CDL-A grads, but want you be hired within a month. So just look at their requirements, and hopefully you will find something soon! Also, some companies will reimburse you for your tuition. I believe Schneider is one of those companies, but don't take my word for it. Do your research before signing with any company.

    P.S...STRONGLY research CR England, but everybody has an opinion.

    Watkins and Shepard would hire you if they see you can drive well enough. They have a terminal in New Jersey but you'd have to go down to Conover, NC. for orientation.

    Your not too far from PA, go talk to the guys running the water trucks for the wells. Oilfield driving is probably the best experience for a new driver. Most companies will train you if you've already got a CDL (Not All, but some)

    And most all of the companies running in North Dakota are crying for Anyone to come drive for them. Work for 2 weeks, then take a week off. Real good hourly wages.

    Your usually on some kind of route but going in challenging terrain. If you can make it there, you will find out that you've got what it takes to drive anywhere.
