    Great news! I passed my CDL road test yesterday and I have a few companies in mind...Sygma, Averitt Express, FedEx freight and Schneider. I live in Richmond, VA and I do not want to go OTR. I'm looking for local or regional and I prefer night shift. Do you guys know any decent companies in the Richmond area? Also, comments or reviews about the companies I listed are welcome. Thanks guys!

    Driver on another thread was just hired right out of cdl school, by a company that ad says, "Must have 1 year experience" or something similar. Ignore any "experience required" and apply anyway.

    Yeah, you have to knock on doors; even if you think you won't have any luck!
    Strange, reminds me of a song from 1962: THE SENSATIONS - ''LET ME IN'' (1962)
