Class A CDL, combo, hazmat, tanker

[Brain]

I went and got my CDL on my own and am wondering if anyone knows the best jobs to apply for. I have looked at a lot of the trucking companies and am just wondering if there is anything like a recruiting service that can help someone with no experience, but has the CDL.

I had to go.oilfield since I didn't have prior exp

There is no company worth working for that's going to give you the keys to a truck loaded with 80.000 lbs of hazmat load with 0 seat time. And one that will you can count on a bunch of HUGE dot fines when you get pulled over. Do you self a favor and get some real training. A few oos tickets and your career is done. Check out csa2010 and what few tickets can affect your license.
I'm not trying to be a smart ass just don't want you to make a mistake that can cost you in many ways. PM me if you have any questions. I've been doing it for about 10 years now.

That will still get you no credit as driving time OTR. No one will take that as experience. It dont take much skill to run around backroads and fields.
But if your just wanting a job thats your best bet.
Oil field days are getting numbered also, due to csa200 and other crap. Schlumberger has and is doing away with almost all driving duty's and has Schneider pulling there trucks now.

Every thing SIG239 said is correct. I started out at Schneider they put you thru their school (I-20 in lancaster) it only took 17 days and then 2-weeks with a training engineer on the road and if you stay a year school is free of charge! I was making $450-$550 a week right out of school and that was 10 years ago! It is gonna be very hard to get a driving job with no experience unfortunately for you and fortunate for every one else! You might be able to find a Owner Operator with 2-3 trucks that will give you a chance. OTR life sux if you got a family. I did my year and i was done that was 11 years ago. I am a route supervisor and driver at a trucking company in Irving our insurance company requires us to hire drivers with at least 2-years experience or i would get you a interview and a test drive. wish you the best, good luck.

But they ant driving them,there farming the driving out of house. They take the trucks from site to site and park them and leave them tell they are done. With csa 2010 a whole lot more company's will be doing the same. There is so much bull shit regulations, paper work etc its cheaper to pay some one else.
