    Just currently looking for jobs, feeling a little nervous because i have no experience obviously will take a little extra digging for a new cdl job.
    Anyone know any places that will take new drivers? I live in NJ, plainfield. Appreciate it guys.

    I can give you a dozen names probably.
    Do you have endorsements?
    Your age?
    Do you have a clean driving record in your car?
    Any criminal convictions?
     
    austinmike Thanks this.

    Move to Las Vegas? No state income taxes so you can keep more of your paycheck.
