Roehl dry van National Fleet is ok.
You can probably do better than the others on that list:
Freymiller : hires new cdl grads & drivers with less than 6 mos. experience for their "Restore Program."
FFE (Frozen Food Express)
Titan Transfer - trucks run 70 mph.
Abilene Motor Express - trucks run 72 mph.
Navajo Express - fly you to orientation in Denver,CO

homeskillet and Lancross Thank this. -
You did graduate from a cdl school, right?
Lancross Thanks this. -
I graduated from Houston Community College.

Danny Herman Trucking is dry van and most runs are south of Interstate 40 and coast to coast. Lots of Texas border towns and has a terminal as far west as Calexico,California.
Danny Herman Trucking does hire new cdl grads that have a 85 GPA from cdl school. Ignore the "experience required" on the website.
You can make a good living and get good experience with any of those I listed though.Last edited: Jul 5, 2017
