Is Class B Experience Okay?

In my experience no. Companies usually want that class A experience but that doesn’t mean there aren’t good paying class B jobs. Some even pay more than driving a tractor trailer.

 

That question comes up on here often. Some Class-A companies will hire you and put you through some type of inhouse refresher course for Class-A driving.

 

If I was in your position I’d look for companies like Coca~Cola (I did a quick search and found a few postings) companies that run both A&B.

Start off with the straight trucks and maybe jump into semi down the road.

There’s tons of places around Orlando you could try depending on what interests you..

 

Class B work will not help you with a Class A job. Coke turned you down, try Pepsi. Try any of the food service companies. Try the beer distributor. Try any of the grocery distributors. Try any paving/construction/crane erector places. Try any local manufacturer with their own warehouses and trucks. Take a warehouse job to get your foot in the door.

Go to your local fuel stops. There should be PLENTY of the smaller fleets around. In fact, there are more smaller fleets than there are megas. Smaller fleets have direct customers that they deal with and they will more than likely regional with a very short region (think sleeper trucks for local drivers.)

 

Did you already try with these people:

No

 

You can get class A jobs, but count on going out with a trainer. With class B experience, they'll treat you like you just graduated.
