Southeastern Freight - How hard is it to be hired as Driver Trainee

Hi all,
Older guy looking into trucking as a career move. No CDL, no experience. I don't mind doing OTR, so Prime is on my short list based on what I have read here (Thanks to all the great info from you experienced folks on companies, I had no idea when I was almost going to apply with C R England and y'all saved me from that .

I have read great things about Southeastern Freight and they have a terminal 20 miles from me. I also like the idea of local, while not minding some time away from home if needed. Being a LTL company, there is a lot of dock work involved, as well. I think I can handle that even if I am not a spring chicken.

Any advice or insights into how I might approach them? I'd like to be as prepared as possible so I can have my ducks in a row. Not sure if they want an older guy due to the physical requirements. Any info on them would be appreciated.

Thanks,
SCDude

 

Thanks, I have seen the openings, right now, looks like all (or most) terminals have that opening. I was trying to get some more info to make sure I present myself to them as best I can. I've heard they are not easy to get on with, but those that are are happy. Lots of yard work involved. They also have Freight Handler jobs I may apply for to get my foot in the door. Thanks for responding.

 

No problem in that regard for me. I clean up good
