Companies In Western MA/New England
Topic 11818 | Page 1
PS I was also wondering if I could drive myself instead of takin the bus or train, when a company hires me and I have to go away for some time for training. I'd like to be able to have a vehicle to move around when I'm there.
Oops....following:
I'm asking because the CDL school told me that sometimes when pure done training, you might actually be given your truck to drive back home with a load...
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.

*you're....typo. (I *really* wish we could edit our posts!!! I hate to think of something more to add, and having to spam a thread with multiple posts!)
I have found this to be a good resource for finding companies in your state.
Hope this helps
Companies like Schneider, Prime and such don't have terminals in New England? Or is this list only giving you the home base/headquarters of the company?
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Harrt is out of Maine, I think.

These are companies headquartered in Mass. You might need to ask a recruiter if there are terminals, and/or drop yards there.

I used the search feature and mostly all I get is threads about CR England. Do you know a list of companies who have terminals in Western MA? I'm in the country, 20 minutes west of Springfield, MA. Other locations I can get to within reasonable distance would be Hartford CT area, Worcester MA area, etc.
It's not that I care about driving long distances, obviously I wouldn't go into trucking if that was a problem. But I'm thinking if it's within range of my home, I can get someone to come drop me off or pick me up with my truck, so I don't leave it unattended in a parking lot. It also allows you a little bit more time at home if you don't have to drive two hours or more to get back to your truck.
