How to get a job in the trucking industry with no experience?

I recently got my Class B CDL and studying for the last section (combination vehicles) to get my Class A. I didn't go to a truck school because the cost is too much. The problem I'm running into is none of the trucking companies in my area want to give me a chance because I have no trucking experience, but I can't gain any experience if I don't start somewhere?!

Have you considered asking about going for ride alongs? Often in good weather once a raport is built with a driver, they will let you drive some. Or at least I have, and know some others who have done likewise.
