No Experience, Getting Hired, Possible Relocation

You'll have to change your cdl to the new address.
Forget Illinois, depending on the mood, they may or may not switch your cdl to Illinois.

Move to another state that has no state income taxes so you can keep more of your paychecks.

Consider moving to Texas, Tennessee, Nevada. No state income taxes in those states. Plenty of trucking jobs in all three states for new cdl school grads.

 

One driver on here works for Schneider. Lived in Illinois and asked Schneider for a transfer to Las Vegas and his request was approved.

The Illinois jobs you are seeing are probably 1099 jobs. Not usually a good way to go.

 

There are ample W-2 jobs in that area depending on what you want to do. For Gods sake, be VERY careful of any company that wants to pay you on a 1099. And considering your experience level stay away from a fleece purchase. I would say NEVER do it, but if thats what you want to do, at least have some experience under your belt before you go that route.

 

Stay away from Suckneider guy. Just about anywhere else would be better.

 

Florida is a tough state unless you specialize, and given lack of experience gonna be megas, mostly then it's solely on location. IDK your city but any big city might still have work. Still, it might need to be class B stuff with a lack of experience lots of decent-sized cities need drivers. Still, the problem normally lacks of decent pay try looking at the city work too if you can make it work, you could learn to work a front load, motor grader and a few years of motor grade in the city your pick up enough to qualify as a superintendent elsewhere.

Welcome to the forum, good luck to you and your family! God bless you and your family!

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.
