    Here's some that hire new grads in Austin:
    Even if website has "experience required", apply anyway.
    Southeastern Freight Lines - the website has "6 mos. exp. required" but some terminals bend that rule and hire new grads. They even have non-cdl driving jobs.
    XPO Logistics
    Averitt Express - local/regional/otr
    Sysco - sometimes hires new grads
    Sygma Network
    FFE (Frozen Food Express)

    Oasis LLC - Austin,TX
    • Must have 12 months of OTR tractor trailer truck driving experience within last 3 years to qualify.
      If you have less experience than this, we may have a different position to offer so please check in.
    • Drivers on this lane will be operating within the SW regional zone, TX and surrounding states.
    • NO East or west coast driving.

    Important : Start submitting job application right now; don't wait until graduation.
    You'll start getting job offers contingent upon successful completion of cdl school and having any required endorsements.
    By submitting job applications right now, you have plenty of time to decide which offer to take.
     
    Kwan23 Thanks this.

    They have truckload and LTL.
    LTL is multiple stops on each run and you get paid extra for each stop. Probably make more on LTL. Either way you should make a decent living.
    Ask about LTL and truckload and get some details when you contact the company.
