Required Experience 3 Years?

If you mean a Class-C automobile license, most companies want 12 months experience.

 

Depends on the company; some companies don't require any experience at all other than CDL school.

 

Company policy.
@Ridgeline can explain it better than me.

 

It depends on where you want to go. I've seen some jobs that require 2 or more years. Your average company wants 1 year experience. If you're looking for a local or regional job in this day and age, it's a pretty good chance they want 3 years. The driver market is shifting towards applicants with a lot of experience and clean records, especially in the local and regional market. Which company are you looking at?

 

Where is the drivers location; state & nearest city/town?
We might find something local if that's what he wants.

 

Welcome to TTR!

If they required it they wouldn’t have given you a CDL.
Just start applying to companies that you’re interested in. There are many carriers that hire students with no experience. Some will want a year or five of experience with a CDL. IMO 2 years is where the most doors will open.

What are you looking to do with that CDL? Local, OTR and what trailer type interests you most?

 

Just two big carriers I checked quickly.

Swift says you need to be 23 unless you were in the military.

Schneider says 21 so that’s a fine start if they hire in your area.
