    Get all the endorsements, then you'll be prepared if some high paying local tanker outfit has openings later.

    There are a LOT of trucking company terminals in Fontana and Jurupa Valley. I recommend you zoom Google Maps into that area, then type the search term "trucking company". Dozens of icons will pop up with a list of them. Phone numbers, web sites, Google ratings, it's all right there for your research.

    Then go do a meet and greet. Make appointments. Let them know a bit about you and find out about them. DO ask them what truck driving schools they accept AND ask about their training program.

    Thanks for the advice, the school I am going to attend has good ratings and is the only school close by my house that offers weekend classes, some other schools the ratings are mehh lol. But yeah I will browse around while I am in school to see which company to work for.

    Google "trucking companies" and "Los Angeles" or your particular part of the city. You might get different results using Google Maps versus Google.com

    Oak harbor freight lines in Chino.

    Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Inc.

    They list a lot of their requirements as preferred, for ltl. If you do well on the road test, they may be willing to bring you on.
