    Possibly? I know I hooked on with R&L fresh out of school as a dock/driver worker.(I never once had to work the dock) I think you'll definitely stand a chance with either, provided the terminal in your area is hiring.:biggrin_25525:

    Not 100% positive, but I don't think either one of those companies are "cdl training" companies. I believe that you might have some kind of shot with them once you get your cdl, but I believe that they both prefer experience. Have you looked at their qualifications on their websites?

    Old Dominion is union. They will have their own set of rules on hiring and rookie training.

    Old Dominion is not union? I thought they were thrown in with Roadway and Yellow Freight? I could have sworn that Roadway was teamster.
