Thanks for all the replies, Song, lhdrv, Seabreeze, Kenneth and BillyLo. I did get a response back from OD corporate.
"Yes, OD requires at least 1 yr. driving experience before they will hire on. Once you have that, please look for openings at RNO and we can consider you for a position if you meet all qualifications. Our drivers do require hazmat and triples certification, so please keep this in mind. Good luck and we look forward to hearing from you in the future!"
The only reason I asked here or tried was because in the OD hiring ads, they list this for qualifications necessary.
"1 year previous tractor trailer driving experience and/or be a graduate of a State Certified and Licensed truck driving school, acceptable to Old Dominion and/or have satisfactorily completed the Old Dominion truck driver training program."
I do have the hazmat, doubles & triples, tanker endorsements.
No problem, I've got a great opportunity with a highly recommended outfit in Fargo, ND. Would have preferred OD from the get go, but as Scarlet O'Hara says, " There's always tomorrow"
