    Hello All.
    I'm a new CDL holder however my significant other has years of experience. We'd prefer a medium sized company within 300 or so miles of Louisville KY. Obviously he Can train me but of course having trouble finding that company. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    PTL's in Murray. Holler at them. He will HAVE to go through trainer certification, etc. prior though.

    You don't say what CDL endorsements either of you have (if any) -- or what type(s) of freight interest you.

    To accommodate you & your inexperience -- your significant other may have to go with you to a starter carrier.

    Schneider has terminals in both Indianapolis, & also in London, KY.

    I may be wrong, but I doubt most companies are going to let your significant other train you unless he goes through their trainer program first.

    I have tanker and double /triple endorsements. He doesn't have any at this time.
    Dry van is our preference.

    We assume that and that's okay. We mostly just hope to get on with a decent small to mid size company.
