Either ones are good jeans or cargo. Cargo are better in the summer cause of the pockets to hold bottle water or drink

You need a class B license with an A permit to bid on the spot, but you will need tanker and hazmat which would allow you to drive while you wait for transit to send you to get your A license

Thanks, much appreciate...

Anyone know what Class A endorsements are needed for fleet? Thanks..

I'm in fleet, if you have any other questions I can try an answer them.

Class A permit with Hazmat/Tank/Tow

They'll take you with just a Class A Permit and a B license and give you some time to get the endorsements.

Types of trucks we drive are Roll Off Containers (Class B), Car Carriers (Class B), Fuel Truck (Class B)

Tractor Trailer (Class A), Dump Trailer (Class A), Low Boy (Class A), Landoll (Class A), Heavy Wrecker (Class A)

Thanks, your reply is very helpful. How are the assignments given, in other words what determines what truck your assigned to for the day? Is it also based on seniority? If you have a Class with the proper endorsements will you generally get a trailer or dump truck?

Assignments are given at the discretion of supervision, usually based on seniority.

If you have your class A from NY/NJ/CT/PA you'll be fine. If you have your permit from anything other then NY then you won't be able to come because when they send you to their school for training you need a NY license.
