Looking to possibly get back into the industry

Forget Swift; the training is excellent, no question about that, but they're installing in cab driver facing cameras and other monitoring devices, ie, big brother is watching.

Apply for companies that have their own refresher course or CDL training program. Lodging & meals provided.There's several that don't require any cash except for the CDL permit and then hard copy CDL at the end of training.

CTL Transportation - CDL school for hazmat/tankers.
Milan Express in Jackson, TN.(don't know if they're a good company or not)
RE West in Lebanon, TN - no contract to sign. Driver unload or assist unloading. Mostly hot water heaters from AO Smith in Ashland City.

Earl Henderson Trucking
Wil-Trans
Maverick Transportation
Celadon - refrigerated or flatbed
Millis Transfer - $500.00 for tuition

What city are you near in Tennessee? Prime Inc. has a dedicated account with Walmart in Shelbyville if you live close enough. I wouldn't do their regular OTR because the trucks are too slow and small, plus a couple of their drivers that post on here have bashed me in the past.

Scroll to the top of this page and click on "CDL Practice Tests" to get started.

 

You may also want to get a loan or grant to pay for CDL training at either a community college or a reputable private CDL school. This way you are NOT obligated any individual trucking company to pay off their "loan", had the trucking company been the one that trained you.

Good luck to you!

God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

I work for millis its a great company. But if your worried about cameras dont come all new trucks we are getting have cameras And automatics

 

I'll play the " good cop & bad cop" with you on this one. What makes you think that trucking will be any better this time around? You quit 2 companies in 1 year for some reason or other.....right? I would need to know what was going on between your ears before offering advice. The new rules suck. Traffic is even worse. Truck stops are still ghetto's. Shippers and receivers still hate you. Dispatchers are still a coin toss on whether you get a decent one, or some dirt bag who only looks out for his production bonus.

But with that said...............come on in! The water is great!!!!!!

 

Right on RetiredUSN. good points

 

CTL is one of the many divisions of Comcar.
Not a company that I would run for, but some of the drivers I have talked to seem fairly happy. They have a good bit of home every day, or week, bulk tank stuff.

CC, CCC, CTL, WSE, MCT. Are all Comcar company's. CTL is actually has it's HQ in Mulberry FL still I believe, hauling fertilizer.

 

WSE and MCT have merged; now it's just MCT. Coast to coast refrigerated.
CCC is dry bulk and CTL is liquid. CTL would be great for hazmat tanker OTR. With a year experience in tankers, then move to A&R Logistics hauling non-hazmat dry bulk. My former neighbor makes $72K working for A&R Logistics hauling out of the Nashville railhead; check the website.

Yes, I'm a born and raised Tennessean that immigrated to Las Vegas area couple of years ago.
