A little more information would help. Like what do you want local city driving, LTL driving or OTR driving.

Didn't the school you went to have recruiters come by? No brochures and applications on a table someplace in the school?
Just read everything ever posted on this forum and then go to a truck stop and talk to every driver who will give you 5 minutes of his time.

Remember, if 1 driver out of 10 has something bad to say about a company, the driver is the type of guy who will be miserable anyplace. Ignore him.

If 1 driver out of 10 has something good to say about a company, listen to the other 9.

Yeah getting out n talking to different drivers is good. Its lets u know about their companies but it also helps decide what field of driving u want to get into. U can also check out your local newspaper. But like JB said get to those truck stops.
Good luck

On the boards under general discussions the post is about a company called Dugan. From their site seems like they started about 06'. They have a barn in Memphis. Don't know har far u r from there but might b worth checking them out.
