I just graduated CDL school and have my CDL license.
-I am in the LA area, CA
-I want a company that will train me well and I can be safe at and keep my record clean.
-I also don't want driver facing cameras.
-I rather have lower pay and guaranteed hours for good training and safe driving.
I was thinking Schneider would be best for their training and they seem focused on safety. I am okay doing OTR or whatever to get my experience. But I hear Schneider may not be good.
Any ideas or companies ODFL, Swift, Werner, are there some local companies in Los Angeles Area that will take people with no experience?

There is a sizable minority of national trucking companies that simply don't hire drivers from CA anymore. That's mostly due to the crazy regulations and taxes/requirements from the "people" in CA govt.
