Three Companies Possibly Four
Topic 10843 | Page 1
So through my research, I have decided on three possibly four companies. Knight, Schneider, Baylor, and driver solutions ( I know more of a school, leaning either way really). I just do not know if Baylor helps obtain a cdl license.
Did you look on Baylor's website? Did you see the tab "Driving Opportunities"? Then the tab on the left that says "Student Driver"?
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
I just do not know if Baylor helps obtain a cdl license.
Driver Qualifications ~ Minimum of 6 months experience, verifiable over-the-road, or graduated from a certified school.
Baylor offers a Tuition Assistance Program that allows a driver to earn an additional $150.00 per month for 18 months. This program begins after a driver is assigned his/her own unit.

I figured that is why it was a maybe. I am also trying to get in touch with a local freight company here. Midwest specialized has a hub 5 minutes from my house, they appear to be regional so I am guessing I need at least 6-12 months experience
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

Mills has a nice dedicated division as well, most are east of I35. So many schools. Lol.
