What carriers (if any) visited your class -- while you were in CDL school?

One or more of them are probably hiring newbies...

Also: how old are you?

If you are pretty young -- that could well be part of your problem; many carriers want you to be at least 21, or a bit older....

Local, regional or OTR?

What type of trailer do you want to drag around..flatbed, reefer, tanker or my favorite..dry van.

What’s your long term goal? Example: drive for Walmart once you get the required amount of time driving.

CDL Truck Driving Jobs for Knight Transportation

 

Schneider has A LOT to offer to a beginning driver.

A LOT.

BUT -- my time there out on a trainer's truck was much too short (less than one week).

Thus -- I can't really recommend them...in good conscience.

With Knight, or Swift -- your time on a trainer's truck would be MUCH MORE reasonable (min 3 weeks, or even longer).

You need that extra time to practice backing...while with a trainer.
