    I got my CDL a little over a year ago, sat on it for a while and now want to get my career going. I believe Western Express takes no experience drivers and has a refresher course, are there any others?

    I think both Roehl and Knight do along with most CDL schools.

    Where do you live; there's probably a couple dozen companies to choose from.

    Many companies will hire you and may not advertise they have a refresher.
    Titan Transfer is one; they're based in Shelbyville,TN but hire drivers in the Southwest and West Coast. @DRAGON64 going thru refresher now at Titan.
    Freymiller - cdl grad or 6 mos. experience; either/or.
    Jim Palmer Trucking
    Navajo Express
    Mountain Valley Express - line haul
    Watkins-Shepard - terminal in Las Vegas and might have inhouse refresher.
    May Trucking Company
    Abilene Motor Express
    Southern Refrigerated Transport
    TransAm
    Eagle KMC Transportation
    www.cfidrive.com
    Sygma Network
    James H. Clark & Son
    KKW Trucking
    Western Express
    I recommend submitting online applications, then follow with a phone call, "I'm checking on my job application."
    You'll probably get 5 or 6 job offers off this list.

    I meant when I asked scheneider for a chance they told me I needed to go to a private school to get a cdl refresher course, thankfully the company I chose gave me a chance and have been here ever since.
