Looking for some direction once I obtain my CDL

Hogan has a reputation for very small paychecks most of the time.
McLane has a reputation for big paychecks all the time. Apply and see what happens. Sometimes they hire with only a cdl permit and sometimes they want experience.
Sygma Network is similar to McLane, but hauls for Sysco.
Some Beelman terminals hire new cdl grads and some terminals want a year experience. It's pretty much a local type job.

 

Yes this could work out well for you as your not obligated to repay your debt back to the [transport] company that usually gets you to sign on with them and work for no money while you pay them back for the CDL Training. However with this option there is no guarantee of a job i'd be calling around to see which companies will take on a recently graduated recruit. And you'll still have to go out with a trainer for a few weeks or more not sure if its a set amount of time, or its how quick you can pick up the driving and delivery process.

McLane will hire you. They train permit drivers to get their CDL. Those guys have to sign a contract but you won’t. All you’ll need to do is the training which is 52k miles with a trainer I believe. Just depends on location if they need drivers or not. I’m sure they do. In my area they will hire new grads in a heartbeat.

Like explained above Sygma, Sysco, US Foods, I’ve seen and know they’ve hire without experience.

There’s a shuttle position in St. Louis. They will train. That’s a easy drive only position no unloading. Pays less then delivering but will pay more then any 1st year mega carrier position and usually it’s a 4 day work week home daily.
