    Hello,

    I have some experience driving (2+ yrs) but it is spread out over several years. I'm looking to go OTR and am wondering what's out there. Some places I've found would require me to relocate to join their company, but I see no need to relocate if I'm looking for OTR. I don't mind going back to a mega carrier even if it means lower cpm like 45cpm-60cpm. But that would be my last resort. What companies should I be applying to?

    Thanks

    Schneider
    Schneider offers a great option for CDL license holders who want to restart their careers. The company has partnered with some of the country’s leading trucker schools to provide you with free training.

    The catch?

    You need to complete a Class A CDL refresher course.

    The course will provide applicants with a driving position once a person has graduated. Courses last for just three days, and the only requirement is that the applicant has a valid Class A CDL license.
