Default Any companies still hiring students?

Does anyone know of any good companies that are hiring student graduates in the southeast. Besides Swift

You will get a better answer to your question if you include more information like what state you are in and what do you want to pull (dry-vans, reefers, or flat-bed).

In Chattanooga, TN. Willing to go as far as Atlanta, Huntsville, Nashville, Knoxville, even western NC. I'll pull flat, van or get haz-mat if needed. Wouldn't want to try a tanker until I'm a little more experienced.

Last I knew USXpress, Paschall Truck Lines (PTL), Covenent, Southern Refigerated (SRT) are a few. As to how good they are that is up to you to decide.

With limitation like that, you just knocked out every OTR company that takes students.

Looks like you are looking for a local/regional job. Having no experience, you will have a very hard time finding one.

Try: CR England, PRIME, Covenant(the first three may not be the best but it is a foot in the door), Mavrick, TMC, PGT.

USXpress just did a big layoff, PTL requires 1yr OTR, SRT 6mo OTR, and Covenent has one of the worst reputations in Chattanooga.

I'll go to Covenent if I have to but considering they own Swift says enough for me. Most OTR's I talk to say they are shocked to two companies are still on the road.

USXpress has a good rep here but again the layoffs

Might want to inclued that in your reply:thumbsup:

Read it as it was written:

You never said that was the TREMINAL locations that you are willing to travel to.

I'll go to Covenent if I have to but considering they own Swift
When did this happen????? Got a link to back that?

I'll add another one to try: STAR Transportation

Also, have you tried CAD's front page? http://www.classadrivers.com/ One stop shopping for drivers.
