Companies That Offer Dock Work While Training

I have heard of a few companies that put you to work on their loading dock's while you get trained up for CDL , but I have forgotten the brands.

Would anyone shoot me a short list ?

I'll be running out of Nashville.

I think Conway does. POSSIBLY, Fedex but I do not know for sure.

I know Con-Way does it and so does the Fed-Ex freight division. I used to be an operations manager for the Fed-Ex Smartpost and Fed-Ex Ground divisions and I tried to get in through the freight division to become a driver but it's extremely hard to get into and when positions open for them to train they fill up really quick. With Con-Way you should be to apply on their website and with FedEx you can also apply through their website through careers tab and search for "driver apprentice". Hope this helps.

O hi i live in smyrna, good luck with your starting out! I'll be attending united trucking in murfreesboro, only a upfront cost of 1k which i should earn back through tuition reimbursement.

I have several comments for you. Will get back on here in a few hours.

I gave a whole list of LTL companies, some of which start you on the dock w/ an in-house program and move you up to driver. It's towards the end of this thread: LTL Trucking - My Linehaul Job

To my knowledge, Conway-Freight and Old Dominion have an "in-house" program for dock workers. Perhaps UPSF? You can use the list of companies I provided and give them a call, probably your best bet. You might find more info than somebody here can provide, i.e. if a particular company actually does offer such training.

Hey !! Another Nashville Cat !! I live in Castalian Springs. Good luck to you, also.

Thanks for the input. I haven't heard much about United. Not to keen on any $ up front, but I will certainly look into.

I am looking forward to anything you have to add, MG . I am a big fan of yours.

I signed on to your thread..... will start reading just as soon as I get caught up responding to the mornings job interview requests and sending out a few more 'resumes'.

Job hunting at 50 years. Life is quite a journey ;)
