New class a cdl holder

Youngtrucker, welcome... you are going to have to get with a carrier that will send you out with a driver trainer for 4 to 6 weeks to get break in experience. then you can run solo or team.

 

Depends on what you are looking for, OTR, local, solo, team, dry van, refer, flatbed, tanker, step deck, as well as where you are located at.
I can tell you if you wait 4-6 weeks after you finished school most will make you run through a refresher, or sign a contract. If you are withing the 4-6 weeks call around and ask if they require a contract. I am Prime bound next week, was going with Jim Palmer but they wanted a contract, Prime did not.I will still have to do the 40k miles, but at least it is paid and I don't have to test until I am finished with training.

 

Snowman. Do you know of companies like that in Southern California? Those companies that train you for free..... are they the ones who start you out at low level pay with long contracts???
