    There's lots of dedicated work around New Jersey. Schneider may have intermodal and NFI may have regional and home most every day.
    Does the school have any recommendations?
    Ignore "experience required" and just walk in and ask for an application. That's how many drivers find good jobs.
    Many drivers that live in New Jersey post on this forum, but they need to know which city/town you live in since you want local work.

    You can try craigs list in NewJersey then Springfield or the surrounding cities then hit transport.You'll find all the trucking jobs there.But with no exp you may have a hard time finding anyone willing to train you.Its not the employer that doesn't wanna hire you its their insurance company.I tried 2 construction companies for a belly dump driver and both needs 2 yrs belly dump exp.

    Hi. Also in nj here. Just graduated from smith and soloman as well. Just wondering how you made out. I have a pre hire from covenant and have started the process with New Penn. Really interested in staying home so New Penn seems like a better fit. Any info on them? Thanks
