Cdl Training Done

I have been working my butt off to get my cdl license and at the end of this week the time is here to take the driving test. I am pretty sure I will pass because I been running the test course last week and this week and my instructor said I should do fine. I just don't know what truck company I can apply to that takes new inexperienced drivers. I am still pretty excited about my big accomplishment.

I'm excited for you! Good luck on your test and finding a good place to work!

Hey there Bones,

Depending on where you're located and what type of hauling you want to do there should be quite a few companies that you can get hired on at without experience. Typically, companies who run local want to see you have at least one to two years of experience (unless you run for a trash or cement company and even then). I would have to agree with my instructors and say that your best bet is to run OTR for at LEAST six months, but preferably a year or your first 100k miles. Some of the companies I was looking at because they seemed like a good fit for me (everyone has a unique set of circumstances though) were System Transport, May, and Werner. I'm going for the first one because I want to run flatbed loads and they have regional divisions so the likelihood of me being home is higher. Still considered OTR. One thing you might think about doing is sitting close to your biggest highway and seeing what trucks run the most often down that road. Just remember that there is no perfect company and that every driver has a different experience. Do your homework and don't be afraid to commit yourself to a company for a year. No body likes contracts but sometimes sacrifices have to be made to get you ahead. You probably know this already but I just wanted to pass the wisdom my instructors shared with me on to you.

Best of luck! That's really awesome that you're almost done. :)
