Question... I can Get a job of truck driving local without experience?

If I'm reading your post correctly, your question is, "Can I get a local Class A driving job as my first job out of truck school?"

If that's what you're asking, the short answer is "yes".

The fact is, it takes a lot of research and legwork.

Try looking on your local craigslist, check with your state/county job office, state/county civil service, city public works where you live.

Also, cruise around the industrial part of where you live, looking for signs up for "Drivers wanted, CDL A"...stuff like that. Go in, ask questions, meet people....like back before smart phones.

Take a look at the equipment as you go in, looking for bad leaks, bald tires, big cracks in the windshields, basically safety stuff. Old and dirty is not necessarily a deal breaker. A lot of mom&pop trucking outfits are long gone, and the ones that are left are trying their best to stay afloat. So m&p are gonna slice their piece of the pie between equipment, pay, and benefits a lot thinner than a mega carrier.

This type of local carrier is unlikely to visit your school, so the burden is on you to go find them.

And the possibility exists that such a company may not exist in your area, or if it does, they're not hiring because they only have openings when someone retires or dies.

And if someone is paying $2000 hiring bonuses for local drivers, ask them why.

Hope this helps for a starting point. Just work hard at school. Be the first one on the practice pad and the last one off. Show some hustle and curiosity, make yourself stand out in a good way in the eyes of your instructors. The local job you seek may be someone they know. Good luck.

 

Check sysco foodservice and mcklane. Ups might hire you as a dockworker/driver trainee

 

Ready mix or dump trucks

 

Yep, that you gotta due a year of otr is a big load of bs.

 

Yep ABF has a training program too for fresh out a school folks.

 

The idea you have to do Otr before going local is wrong. I’ve only been licensed for 6 months and I’m making $25 per hour hauling steel on a flatbed.

 

Do you drive cement mixers? Wondering if it feels different going down the road with a barrel spinning on the back.

 

I did it a full load is as heavy as trucks but no big deal .

 

Ya you can, just not looking hard enough. Disturbing beer, milk, food, sodas. A lot of them have training programs
