Lexington, TN area
I'm recieving my CDL license in November, was wondering of any local truck driving companies in the Lexington area. Was also wondering on the credibility of the cosmetology school in this town as well for my girlfriend. I plan on moving asap when I get my CDL. Anyone with any information on these questions would be greatly appreciated, thanks

The only one I know of in the area, is about 11 -12 miles away in Reagan.. Shippers Choice Transportation. My hubby used to work for them.. great company to work for. Don't know if they are hiring tho. You might want to check with yellowbook online for trucking companies in the area.
If you do decide to contact Shippers , Shawn is the head man there.

Lexington is close to Jackson, which is where you will find more jobs.

Also try findatruckingjob.com jiggyjobs.com as well as they are for truckers only.. you can apply directly to companies, etc.. We have used them as well to locate and find jobs.. and you can look in the state your interested in. Also check with Crete.. My Dad works for them.. and you dont have a requirement as to how close to live to your terminal.. and I know they will hire recent trucking school grads.
Good luck in finding the right trucking job that fits you. |

all good info. What about more local jobs as well. What are the names of companies of the garbage disposal in this area (garbage man job), bus driving companies (bus driver, obviously), even factories or distribution centers that hire their own drivers not go through a company. If anyone knows about this thatd be great but, I really dont expect much outta that detailed of questions, lol.

bus driving would more than likely be thru the school system, unless you want to drive for greyhound, than you would have to contact them.. closest bus terminals or used to be was Selmer, which was more like a drop off in my opinion, but Jackson has a terminal. Garbage, not sure of. you could try contacting the chamber of commerce to get that info I am sure. I am not sure about Lexington having any factories or distribution centers of any kind. Someone else may know that info.
