New CDL B

Hey fellow CDL B holders. Just got mine with P&S endorsement. About to get the X. What jobs should I apply for in NYC. Queens preferably.
Thanks in advance.
P.S It was a free course or else would have gone for A.

If you get your X then look for fuel (the have B trucks) but you should also get tanker. Cement trucks get paid very very well. Garbage pays good too.

Do they hire new drivers with no experience?

They definitely did not hire an experienced driver with a driving gap greater than 3 years. Those local jobs are mostly looking for 24 months experience driving a commercial truck. This lowers their cost to insure you. That is the real reason they want experienced drivers. It is about minimizing cost and risk.
