    Well try and get on with a tanker outfit, many are out and back. If you need some experience you could get on with Schneider Bulk and run OTR for a year but you might not have to. Tankers also pay well. I don't know about hair testing, but it is becoming more and more of the standard.
     
    Rambler470 Thanks this.

    It's ok, I don't have to convince you. I was only asking a question. Everyone somehow made this about hair follicle test. Probably the least important part of looking for a good company to me.

    But again, thanks. Not sure for what though.

    That is really what I want to do (tankers) but most I have seen (actually all I have seen so far) want 1 year exp. So I may have to do that OTR for a year. Am just trying not to.

    No companies have perks like cooler and xm.
    Very few companies do not do hair folicule test anymore. Western Express does not and they have a terminal in Easton Pa. The get you home every weekend for a day and a half.
    you are going to have to compromise because no companis have all that you are asking for especially ones that hire beginners.
     
    Rambler470 Thanks this.

    I'm pretty sure coke only hires experienced drivers and I'm sure they hair test.

    Don't worry about the experience requirements. Many companies will over look that. Apply and see, all they can say is no. If you run out of options then go to Schneider Bulk, get some tanker experience and you're gold.

    You can, but mine came with it. And a 2,000 watt inverter. It's really not that uncommon.
