Newbie needs schooling. Help!

Yes, and ignore any "experience required" on the websites and apply anyway. I don't know why so many companies have that when in reality they hire new cdl grads.

Oh, Abilene Motor Express hires many Florida drivers. Good reputation with drivers.

 

Also lily hires new grades they offer training for new holders.

No I don't work for them

 

That's good info; they used to require 1 yr. experience.

 

Hiring a lot with whole foods out west and then back east for others accounts. And the training is new

 

Was reading they now recruit from CDL schools. Do they have their own CDL school also? Couldn't find that on the website.

 

Y'all might hate me. I had about 30 hours of class time. I'm rocking a 53' reefer and even nailing my evasive steer/countersteer maneuvers when drunk people lose control on the on ramp. That was a real shít the pants moment.

I Love Adrenaline!

In all seriousness though, take whatever option leaves you with the most class time. Get all the endorsements, hazmat too. I have to go back and get the rest of the endorsements, because I was short sighted, seeing nothing but my current job. A whole effing world of opportunity is out there for anyone with the will, skill, and balls to take it.
