New CDL Driver From Long Island Ny. Please Advise.

Being from Ny and familiar with the area anyone hiring for reefer will love you.

Getting you home Im not sure though only know of two places you can leave a truck for a few days and they charge per day. Why not drive local? Imagine Ny local pays well.

Stay safe ^_^

 

How old are you; many companies have minimum age requirements.
Plenty of jobs, but truck parking will be a problem; don't know what to say concerning that. There's drivers that post on here that live in your area, so maybe they can give advice as to parking. Otherwise, ask the companies you apply to what their policy is.
FedEx Freight is hiring new grads:
127 Dale Street
City: West Babylon
State: New York
McLane Company hires new grads as second seat driver to assist first seat driver until you're qualified for first seat. It's foodservice and pays really well.
One new grad driver that lives near Hunts Point found a job on Craigslist working for an owner-operator running to California and back to Hunts Point. It's a produce run.

 

Here's some more that hire new grads:
Calex Logistics
NFI Industries in New Jersey
Magnum Ltd.
Freymiller
Abilene Motor Express
Trekker Logistics - refrigerated division is "Earl Henderson Trucking"
Schuster - nations largest ice cream hauler, ie."Blue Bunny Ice Cream"
Britton Transport
Tyson Foods
J&R Schugel

 

Most local jobs don't pay much, but plenty hire new cdl grads. Drivers that live in the city sometimes post on here that the pay is low and fighting traffic all day is a nightmare.
ABF hires new grads for city work and even pays for cdl school for those that haven't attended; it's local & teamsters.

 

I don't know who has terminals out there but any OTR company that hires from LI would be happy to have somebody who wont cry about going out there or into the boroughs. Tell them you'll be happy to go to LI but then you're going home for a couple days!

 

Check with all of the freight terminals in the area. Old Dominion, ABF, FedEx Freight, UPSF, etc

 

Almar hires anybody with a pulse.

You can get a local job with no experience on the island. And you'll make a lot more than any new otr driver.

 

I would think being from the NYC area would be a huge plus!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
