    Hello everyone i got my cdl though henderson November of last year, i left my trainers truck due to family emergency , and made a bad decision that OTR wasnt for me. Well i have finally stopped doubting myself and want to get back into training. Of course i am under contract with henderson and tried to get back on with them, but they said no. So where do i go from here i want to settle my debt with them but i cant pay over 3000 dollars without working, anyway i can convince them to have me back or am i just plain screwed with my bad decision. Thank you for any and all help

    Start over somewhere else.
    Do you still want local or would you go OTR with a good company?

    Submit lots of applications online, then follow with a phone call in a couple of days and say,"I'm checking on my job application."

    Abilene Motor Express
    Magnum Ltd.
    Freymiller
    North American Van Lines
    Tyson Foods
    all the above hire new cdl grads even if the website has "experience required."

    Schneider & Swift will probably both hire you, but I'd choose Schneider due to the listening devices inside Swift trucks.

    Thanks, and if you need more company names, let me know. Try those first though.

    OK, good. Get hazmat when you get the time. You'll be on the road making money in a few days.

    Not sure where you are located but check with Watkins and Shepard. They hire new grads.
