    If you want to go with a mega carrier check out Werner, swift, crengland, prime, crst, schneider if you don't want to go with none of these check out old dominion, yrc etc i heard ups start hiring new drivers anybody else most likely required at least 6 months experience or more first you need to get your experience somewhere, good luck.

    nastiness!
    cant believe someone actually recommended swift werner and crengland....
    for your own sake, do some homework on here, see which companies you should stay away from.
    did you look at any companies before you got your cdl? seems that the first thing students do

    Hey I am a student myself in New Jersey I wouldn't buy a tractor yet I know alot of friends who did that but didn't understand the business and highways and ended up failing turn to company drivers. I am not saying it can't be done but you need to have a certain amount of capital and trucking business know how I would go to the places you mentioned and I would apply to companies even if they require 1 year because sometimes they do take new drivers. But I do wish you the best where in NY are you.
     
    EL_GORDOE Thanks this.

    If you want to haul produce to Hunts Point look for a coast to coast team operation; maybe place an ad on this forum under the "Seeking Employment" thread.

    Check Careerbuilder website.

    NFI Industries in New Jersey hires new CDL graduates.
