I'm in Memphis and a lot of Freight comes through here. We have all the big trucking companies here. Most want you to already have your CDL though for the dock.

I'm here in Memphis too. Was just told that at the beginning of the year they just upgraded trucks here. I'm going to Delta Tech to get my CDL A. Halfway through. Hoping to get on with YRC in June when I graduate. Heard that is when they do the most of their hiring. So perfect timing for me.Sean_Memphis Thanks this. -
How is Delta Tech? I've looked at them (just their website) and Roadmaster. Thinking about getting my CDL on my own and staying with FedEx. Have you talked to anyone @ YRC?

Sean I took a PT job at Fedex last summer while I did the YRC training program to upgrade my CDL, it worked out great and so far I am liking YRC. Many different jobs to do, many helpful co-workers looking out for you and right now freight is up and OT being offered up like candy. I don't know what your hours are at Fedex but if you were to do training at YRC they will work with your schedule so long as they have someone available to help train and get your 120 hours in. Like the other poster mentioned, work on getting your permit and endorsements, just the computer tests i think. I used the Truckers Truth website to study for tanker, double/triples. I had Haz already with a B license. You will have an option to work as a casual on the dock while you train as well however I may have only worked 3 days because I relied on my fedex job for income while training. Casual pay isn't all that great. I'm in TX. so once you pass your computer tests for endorsements you have I believe 30 days to go take your driving test. Maybe it's different in TN, so just be sure to time your testing when you feel like it has all come together and you can pass your behind the wheel test. I went to the DMV with a pup and a helpful YRC trainer with day cab.
Sean_Memphis Thanks this. -
I've been PT with FedEx for a year. Hourly wage isn't bad, but getting hours is. As you prob. know all the FedEx hours go to drivers. I've applied for YRC in my area several times and was only offered a position several hours away I didn't apply for LOL
