Fellow new truckers

If you have graduated from a truck school and haven't had any luck getting work, because everytime I call these companies, they tell me ,that I need 6 months, to a year of otr driving. I ask them how do get otr experience of a year or whatever if their not willing to give a new guy or gal a chance. If you've had luck please let me know what you did and who got work with ok.

Only certain companies hire student drivers so your options are limited. Swift, Werner, CR England and Covenant are just a few off the top of my head

Any one have any experience with Covenant? Good or bad talking with them.
