Class B CDL jobs with no experience? local?

I'm thinking about starting Star truck driving school here in IL. I would like to get a class B CDL. My question for you people that have had a CDL for a while is this.... I have been looking at class B CDL jobs around here, and it just seems like they all want at LEAST 1 year driving experience. If I graduated from Star trucking school would I just be screwed and not be able to find a local job??

Thanks in advance guys.

You will be f*cked i have had my class a cdl im 22 yr old im good looking clean cut and cant get a god damn job to save my life honestly its good to have maybe when ur 30 and u can sell them a bullsh*t story to save ur life.........im in awe i owe the school 7 grand now for a cdl i cant use probably for another 5 years............... but yea get it

just got my class b cdl, 50 yrs old, they still want experience!! good luck!~

I got my class B and I say your best bet is to get a friend who is well spoken to say you drove for him. Thats what I did most of these companies call up the number you give them. You have to tell them it was off the books. Make sure your friend puts a company name on his voicemail and that he answers the phone with that company name. Like Hello this is Mike at ABC Company how can I help you. Just remember to get all your job duties, what you were delivering and all the info the same. Good luck.Make sure its not a company like pepsi yet until you get some exp.

I am a lead instructor at a CDL school in Michigan. We train students for "A" and "B" lic. Some students think because they attend a school for 3 weeks that they are truck drivers. The school is only the begining you have much to learn before you are a pro. We help our students with job placement, but remember you are not going to start at the top of the pay scale. The bulk of the good jobs are held buy the most experenced drivers. You should have got the "A" lic and it would have improved your chances for a local job. As for the $7000.00 we charge $3900.00. You can hold out till your 30 but they will still want (prefer) experince. You can go with an expedite co. get some road time then try local again.

Yea i went to school for 6 months drove for 1 company since then am a excellent driver just the insurance companies do not want to pay and now diesel hah..... yea im about to s*k it up be a lonely f**k and go over the road this winter ...new england winters s*k hey if u know anyone who needs a driver reply back...... but yea im from mass so..... there's probably the reason i "still" am not driving and suffering off a 400/wk pay check....... so good luck my fellow drivers
