    Hey All!

    I just got my CDL and looking for work. My dream job is getting behind the wheel of a car hauler but I'm finding it difficult to find work because all the companies want at least 18 months tractor-trailer experience.

    Does anyone know of any companies in southern California that will hire with a new CDL?

    Thanks in advance.

    Opinions on this topic will vary, of course.

    My own personal suggestion -- start out doing dry van duty, first -- & learn how to really drive a big rig.

    THEN -- move up to hauling cars, after you have mastered that first skill set.

    The auto haulers (especially as I write this) pretty much want some experience elsewhere, first.

    Gee, I wonder why?.....;)

    I don't know of any on the West Coast, unless Hogan has lowered the requirements from one year experience. I've seen Hogan car haulers delivering in Las Vegas.
    On the East Coast, Cassens (car hauler) hires new cdl school grads.

    Probably a dozen or so, but they're not car haulers.
    Which town/city are you in or near?
