Hello, I'm goin to be 21 in 2 months, should I go to a trucking school for a CDL licence. I live in Michigan and I read somewhere that age discrimination, most companies don't hire 21 years olds. Can I become a truck driver? I haven't had any jobs in last 2 years, do they hire someone like me?

 

there's a handfull of companies out there that will hire you at 21, Swift, USExpress, just a few that come to mind. Use this website here and go under trucking company listings, and they give an in depth analysis of what the companies require, and who they will hire.

 

CR ENGLAND

 

CR ENGLAND would be my first choice :shock:

 

give the guy good advice, who wants to pull a reefer, noway, dont go to cr england, try us express , a great compaqny to get started with

 

well me and miller are just messing with you CR ENGLAND is one of the worst company's out there to work for keep that in mind. But they do hire 21 year olds. BTW i never drivin a day in my life OTR and never worked for england but just talk to some of the OTR guys on here they will tell ya. 8)

 

Whats wrong with pulling a reefer??

 

Nothin if you wanna sit all day waiting to get loaded and sit all day waiting to get unloaded by a bunch of dock workers at some grocery warehouse with a stick up their a$$... :lol: :lol:

 

shell .... you didn't bother to say where your located at. That will make a difference of who will hire you ... most company's want you to be in 'their' hiring area. ..... My vote for the best company to start out with would be #1 ... CFI ... their main office is in Joplin, MO. but they have terminals in Michigan, TX, West Memphis. Give them a call and see what they have to say.

Next question ? .... where do you plan on going to school at to get your CDL ? ..,.. be sure you don't sign up with one of those 'mills' that run you through like cattle. :wink:

good luck

also, CFI runs Vans ..

 

Make sure to sign up for their lease program to really pull down the big bucks.
