    Hello everyone, I’m back again!

    I tried to find a mega that would company sponsor my CDL training two years ago after getting my CLP with a few endorsements and everyone told me to try again a year later. To be safe, I waited two.

    So! If you kind gentlemen and gentle ladies would be so kind as to offer some assistance - I’m aware of the big ones (Prime, Swift, Schneider, Roehl, Stevens, etc.). I have an application in with Prime, but I’m pending renewing my CLP at the moment with them and they stated they will not hire anyone on tanker division without 6 months experience and interest in leasing. Steven’s said their school is not accepting students at this time. I just want to know if there’s any other options I might be missing.

    What I would like:
    - Manual training
    - Tanker
    - Hazmat

    but if I can’t meet all criteria, it is what it is.

    My location is Lee, Maine - 04455

    Thank y’all so much!
     
    Bumper and austinmike Thank this.

    Apply to company paid cdl schools before calling.
    Calls don't help much, if at all, these days.
    Submit the online apps. from the trucking company websites.

    If anything -- the CDL job market has only gotten worse....over the last couple of years (especially for new drivers).

    Maine, & southern Florida continue to be very tough locations for drivers with no prev experience. :(

    Yeah, I’m seeing that :(

    Everyone except Prime has turned me down so far. I just saw that XPO is hiring about three hours south of me, so shot them a request to join their school, we will see how that goes.

    @Chinatown Bellevance doesn’t have seats in their class at the moment, Millis declined on Driver’s Pulse, waiting on Swift and Knight to get back to me, hopefully this week. Prime is looking like the only option so far right now unless XPO gives me some good news.

    I can’t seem to get a lot of companies hiring maps, so if you know of anyone else hiring out of upper 48 please don’t hesitate to send them my way. I will absolutely try every option, it’s been a dream of mine to drive trucks since I was little.

    Thank you guys again so much!
