Northwest Arkansas Commercial Freight & CDL Hiring Expo

Who It Serves: Class A and Class B commercial drivers, recent truck driving school graduates, CDL student permit holders, and experienced owner-operators seeking dedicated or regional routes across the mid-South corridor. What to Expect: Direct access to hiring managers, carrier driver recruiters, and safety directors representing regional flatbed, dry van, refrigerated, and specialized freight carriers. Attendees can complete same-day digital carrier applications, participate in on-the-spot formal interviews, and review equipment specifications and pay models. What to Bring: At least 10 printed copies of your professional resume, a valid state commercial driver license (or CDL permit), your current DOT medical card, an updated commercial motor vehicle driving record (MVR printout), and a notebook for carrier comparison notes. How It Impacts the Attendee: Positions drivers to bypass third-party online screening algorithms by speaking face-to-face with decision-makers, giving attendees leverage to compare competing cents-per-mile rates, transition to local dedicated lanes with better home time, or lock down pre-hire letters before finishing schooling.
