Nervous about your first driving job? Fair.

  • "What if I get stuck or lost on the road?" Your loads are planned for you and your driver leader is one phone call away.
  • "Does my CDL school count?" If it was 120 hours or more, yes.
  • "Will I be gone for months?" No. You are home every two weeks. Most holidays too.
