Get the endorsements. Hazmat is the only one that requires more than a written test. The more you have on your license, the more options are available to you..."bird in the hand" sort of deal. Sure, "I can get it easy enough" ...but from an employer's standpoint, if it was "easy enough" for you to get, why haven't you got it?
As for the 1099/w2, in most cases you'll want to avoid the 1099's and stick to w2 working as a company driver. If/when you buy a truck, then you'll be 1099. Unless you know what you're doing, and more importantly unless the company knows what they are doing, it is very easy for you to get in over your head.

and i guess both Co's Freymiller and Melton are in all 50 states?
the other co. doesn't want people Fresh out of cdl school i guess.. they wont at leas 3 months experience -
also what endorsements. Duals and Haz Mat ? and tankers?
any others sorry if that sounds dumb. haven't looked into yet. wasn't planning of 6 months. But now i figure if can just study a few days and go into DMV on monday or tuesday next week and test and finger print etc. why not? -
What color is my Pete how fast does it go .. do you do hair testing seem to be common questions
austinmike and BlueThunderr Thank this. -
not worried about any drug tests. Im good and clean.magoo68 Thanks this. -
the trainer thing probably is out of my control i would assume id get a person with 6 months or less
get going on the basics at least. -
Flatbed is ok for new drivers, otherwise a company like Melton wouldn't hire them.
From my understand, Melton does a rigorous training orientation for new drivers on load securement and safety.
