Just spoke with a Recuriter with Panther about hiring on as driver. I inquired about the ad placed on E.O. site saying No CDL is required. He in turn told me that the ad was put in place for Owner/Operators with their own van to be hired on with Panther.
He further informed me that Panther still requires you to have a CDL in order for them to hire you on as a driver.
I am a Newbie to this industry and since posting two questions as to what, where, how I should go. Someone mentioned the Panther ad in their post as a start to getting into this business.
I had contacted Panther before posting in this forum. I was under the impression then that I would need a CDL Class C with HAZMAT endorsement which is not a problem.
Thanks to everyone who replied to my request for help.
This is just a FYI for everyone here especially us Newbies who are looking forward to getting into this industry.
In a way the ad is misleading to a Newbie, I for one thought this would be a perfect opp for me to get started.(they need to placed that bit of info in fine print somewhere in that ad). Just imagine how disappointed I was when I talked with a recuriter with Panter and was informed of that little bit of information just when I thought I had found the perfect job opening.
SO TO ALL THE NEWBIES PLEASE CALL AND ASK FOR MORE INFO.
By the way is there an O/O out there looking for a driver with no experience but willing to learn, never been OTR but is willing to do the 48 and Canada.
Still looking to get in
