Hello I am a recent grad looking for local, I can find OTR easily but thought I would see if I can find local class A before I take a local class b cement mixer driver job and try to work up into their tanker division
Middle TN area, I live in Spring Hill (furthest I would like to drive is hour max, depending on the job I may consider driving further)
Graduated March 6th, 160 hours of school time (4weeks) - 45 hours of drive time (includes driving on back city roads and interstate freeway)
Unrestricted Class A
I have doubles and triples, tanker and hazmat (X endorsement)
I also have TWIC.
Background is spotless
MVR is spotless.
Drug screen will be spotless everytime. I am straight edge as they come.

TCW -- no prev exp req'd -- home daily -- Nashville
Read further down in the ad....you'll see where they have a new driver pgm.
You must be at least 21 years old, however.
-- Lual -
XPO -- home daily -- Nashville -- has their own CDL school for new drivers
Again -- you have to be at least 21 years old.
Some footnotes for you:
- Avoid any job or account that requires you to service any of the so-called "dollar" stores: Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc. Those jobs are murder for a new CDL holder; leave those gigs to the drivers with A LOT more experience.
- Avoid jobs that are tanker hazmat duty until you get some real experience under your belt. Those jobs are just too risky to do for a beginner.

Look to see names on doors of daycabs going in the Saturan auto plant. It will be CWS MTS or even someone else. You start seeing who is sending multiple day cabs in and that would be back and forth to manufacturing plant to assembly

This one is food service...be careful here...you need to be in good physical condition for this one, or it will kick your butt--still, it's home daily:
