I have 3 years of experience driving a school bus. I test for my class A in about 10 days. Most of the companies I speak to require at least 3 months of tractor trailer experience.

Do I just need to jump into like Schneider or something to get experience and then go after the jobs I want?

Hello there , would you like to work as a truck driver and earn 80$ / hr

Jeremy you just answered your own question .no decent company will look at you till like year 3 .so with that being said dont jump on the first thing offerefd to ya without doing research .next thing you know your roped into hauling goats back and forth across the border locked into a 3 year contract .i can tell you a couple companies to stay away from
western express - they will tell you what ever to get ya in the seat and the pay sucks from what i here .theyare often considered last chance for trucking or first chance for people who were incarcerated.
c.r. england --if you can live off of 900 bucks a week total like 28 cpm never be home and drive with other rooks like youself ,make sure your life insurance is current and bring duct tape and bailing wire

the point im trying to make is there are companies out there that are just waiting for fresh meat to take advantage of.

in closing my advice would be to find a local company that does local pick up and delivery .you need to do this to learn how to efficiantly and Safely drive a cmv locally ,get your backing skills down etc....hope this helps and good luck

CDL A Driver 1 below gives great advice. I have been recruiting and hiring drivers for 20 years, and going "over the road" is one of the most popular ways to gain the needed experience. And Schneider is one of the most safety conscious companies out there.But... there are still some opportunities for new drivers to work locally and be home every night. Try some intermodal companies if you live close enough to a port or rail yard, as container drayage is likely to be short haul and home every night. Learning the piers and rail yards can be a challenge but once you do the money is good.
Where do you live?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
