    Your in a better area than I am !!

    The I95 Maine has work ! Of the new cdl starter companies I think Melton is the one which does not . Prime , Werner , Swift , etc etc will . Might want to look at Wel also , smaller than the mega's but hire new cdl .
    Pottles Hartt and Hirschbach might be worth a short . Regency is a FB outfit there , but might need 1-2 yrs .

    You also have a few local shots to look at as well ! And dont forget Intermodal ..being near the coast ...with real good home time .

    Always try, even if you think the company won't hire you. Some companies are going a little outside their normal hiring area now looking for drivers:

    System Transport
    Melton Truck Lines
    Irving Oil
    Bay & Bay Transportation
    Bisson Transportation
    Estenson Logistics
    Sysco
    Ferrellgas

    Check the Indeed website also.

    H O Wolding likes you to live near the interstate
    Skowhegan isn't near anything
    but they are worth a try and haul a lot of water from Maine

    but all the small local companies are worth calling

    I'm also from maine 22 years old. Got my cdl a thru school when I was 18, but could never get into what I wanted. Applied to a local company that has a lot of daycab work, got called offering me a job running medium duty reefered box trucks over night making deliveries with an agreement that if I stuck through a year they'd get me a daycab position as some guys were lined up to retire. And now here I am just over a month in to it but it's exactly what iv been looking for. Just had to put in some time and start from the bottom. They are out there and good luck!
