    i have my cdl a permit and also the dot medical form/physical done. a person was supposed to help me learn/practice shifting and let me use his tractor for the road test however something happened with him and his company and wont be able to help me out until next month and i want a job now. i pulled all types of trailers, chasis/containers, flat beds, iso tanks, you name it i jockeyed it except doubles/triples..... ive been in this business for 6 years without my cdl because it wasnt required because the company was on a private property and than i got laid off..... Im looking for a company in south jersey/philly area that will hire me/ train me to help me get started in my career. i plan on getting my hazmat, tanker, and renew my twic card. I am 100% dedicated. I just want to get started ASAP so i can pass my road test and go back to living my life. If anyone can help me out or know anyone/company id much appreciate it

    I don't know of a company in NJ that does the training. A good company to train with though is Millis Transfer, if you're in the hiring area. Avg. pay is $50K per year. You need $100.00 fee to get started and some of the rest is financed.
     
    DMungioli36 Thanks this.

    I just checked out Millis there, Chinatown - not too bad for a startup company that offers training too.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Chinatown, the $100 fee is paid over the phone by credit/debit, but if accepted to Millis Transfer he will also have to pay $400 cash only on the first day of school. The rest, including hotel cost is financed out over 2 years. After 1 year, $2,500 of the debt is "forgiven", and waived. Millis Transfer hiring areas include the following:
