    Plenty of auto parts haulers. I think most though are 6 months experience?
    Do you have a passport and willing to go to Canada?

    OK, then you're good for any company. The reason I asked is because there is no maximum age for trucking, but there are minimum ages.
    Apply to all those companies I listed, and if I see anything else I'll let you know.
    OK, here's a few more:
    Reinhart Foodservice - probably make $55K - $70K Apply for "Associate Driver" position. Position Summary: . Reinhart will hire and train individuals with less than one year of experience and enter them into our Associate Driver training program. Driver Associates will perform driver duties that will allow them to gain the necessary experience to qualify for a Professional Driver position with Reinhart Foodservice after successfully completing the program.

    DHL - Start your career today...
    We are currently hiring On Call Courier/Dockworker in our Romulus, MI market. As a Courier/Dockworker you would follow standard company procedures and safety requirements to pick up and deliver time sensitive materials in a timely and efficient manner.
    Stevens Transport - refrigerated coast to coast OTR.
    Calex Logistics - mostly California runs and back to east coast.


    Trimac Transportation
    $62,000 a year
    Whether you’re a recent CDL school graduate, a former military service member or an experienced driver, Trimac Transportation has the perfect career opportunity...need tanker/hazmat endorsements.
    Trimac Transportation - also has team positions available. Teams split .60 cpm.
    XPO Logistics
    Morgan Van Lines - ad says 6 mos. experience, but they do hire new grads.

    Pretty sure you can find something off these lists that have what you want. Trimac probably has the best pay and hometime. I remember a year or so ago a new Detroit cdl grad was hired by Trimac for local work.

    Detroit tells me B trains for that area. Two or three coil to 150K gross. That should be pretty good work.

    Not just a "Job..."

    maybe customs related work as well, winsdor is across the river from you. That should be additional oppertunities particulary if you have no felonies, hold a pass port and able to go into Canada. That's very valuable to any trucking outfit that needs canada.
