    Hey Guys, i went through driving school last spring, graduated nearly top of my class and got hired on to deliver concrete in a class B truck. Anyway, did that last summer and hated it. The driving part i enjoyed, the concrete part i didnt. Anyway, i got a full class A, doubles triples and tanker. Looking for some local-ish places here to apply for an actual driving job. If anyone has any suggestions that would be more than wonderful. Most places here ive seen require 24+ mos of exp.

    ignore it, apply to them anyway...who cares if they say they require 24 months that you dont have, it doesnt hurt anything to apply anyways, the worst they can do is say no and you move on

    i suggest u apply to all the LTL companies in your area

    ups freight
    conway
    abf
    saia
    R&L
    estes
    central transport
    old dominion

    etc.

    %'s should scare you off. Only mentions OUTBOUND, that means deadheading back home and under % DH will be working for free. I'd pass.
