    I'm in truck driving school currently and am set to graduate in two weeks. Does anyone know of any heavy haul companies that hire students? If not, I will slug it out with a flatbed company to gain experience required to haul oversize/heavy haul loads.

    Start flatbed, you got a lot to learn before you start heavy haul.

    Like Old Man said, I dont know of any Heavy Haul that hire students. Most want several years of flatbed experience before even thinking about you.

    You might hire on with a company that has multiple divisions including HH such as ATS. Would get trained on the FB & less hassle changing companies than just getting trained & certified within while you are familiar with the ins/outs of day to day operations & have option of doing regular FB if you end up not liking it. Better then jumping companies

    I know of 3, but you're probably not in the hiring area:

    Transport National
    Leavitt's Freight Service
    Rinaudo Enterprise Inc.
