Best local CDL companies to work for

No luck on your other thread ---> Best Truck driving company

 

No headset.
I'm wishing you the best and hope you're on the road soon.
I understand, somewhat, your situation, as I also have a disabled child and it's a lifetime commitment with lots of sleepless nights.

 

How many threads you need? Asking for a friend.....

 

Florida is great; good weather year round. Try to relocate soon.

 

Gas

 

Don't know if you'd qualify but it may be worth a call to the plant superintendent. Drivers are hard to come by it seems.

Jobs @ Linde

 

Current hazmat tanker driver here.

To the original poster--most "home daily" jobs for rookie CDL drivers start you out doing night shift...& also probably working on weekends and holidays.


They also involve A LOOOOOOTTT of hours--even for local area work.

This would include delivering fuel (which I'm currently doing--but for me, it's ok--I'm single, with no dependents, or pets).

Delivering fuel or petrochemicals is NOT a good driving job for beginners--I recommend AT LEAST a couple of years previous CDL experience for those jobs.

Most line haul jobs (especially for beginners) are also on night shift duty.

Rare indeed....is the job for day shift, no prev experience, local, home daily work.

You may have better luck checking with UPS, Fedex and/or DHL for local area pickup and delivery jobs.

Those jobs are day shift (in lieu of night duty), & home daily gigs.

Still with pretty good pay, & excellent benefits.

Also...your best bet as a beginning CDL class "A" driver may be doing local P&D duty for one of the LTL carriers mentioned earlier in your other thread (like ABF, or OD--as suggested earlier, both are great options).

Those P&D positions will still be day jobs, & home daily.

It's hit or miss if they will hire you for that with no previous experience, though.

Look hard also at opportunities with YRC freight (mentioned/suggested in your other thread)--they have FREE health insurance for you, AND your Family. Hey--how cool is that?

Personally, I would recommend that you stay away from food sevice/food delivery jobs--unless you are super-duper desperate--AND also built like Sylvester Stallone. Those jobs pay great--but will work you under the table, and aggravate you into an early grave. They are also mostly night-shift work.

As mentioned earlier--moving to Florida is a swell idea. Most of my clientele are there. I think you'll like it--especially over Detroit.

But Florida isn't perfect, either--watch out for the hurricanes, gators and the sinkholes, though.
