I hate to sound like such a jerk and be so rude, but I really hope you have a much better grasp on driving a tractor trailer than you do on the english language. Do you have a CDL ( commercial driver's license)? If not, you need to attend a school to earn one.
I'm pretty sure if you already have a CDL that Schneider or Swift would give you a job, just as long as your heart is still beating and your body temp is above 96 degrees. Do stay away from JB Hunt. I have nothing good to say about that company.

Practically all the larger trucking companies hire OTR (Over The Road) drivers. And all their trucks will be equipped with sleepers.
About the only folks that dont use sleepers are local drivers - ie. folks delivering gasoline around town, and others that make local package deliveries in town. Some of the larger companies you can google to get more information are:
Swift Transportation
Schneider Transportation
Those two are probably the two largest companies around. But alot depends on where you live and what sort of trucking your interested in: flatbed, tanker, dry van, reefer, etc.
Also I believe you have to be 21 to drive "big rigs" in interstate operations.

Trust me, as an over-the-road driver, I can tell you with full confidence you do NOT want to drive a truck for a living. The government has gotten WAY out of control with enforcement, the traffic is unbearable, and the burger-flipper at McDonalds gets more respect than I do, and I'm a paragon of my industry. Besides, we've got plenty of dummies out here already, we don't need any more. Best to go back to school and learn to do something worthwhile. And JB Hunt definitely is NOT the way to go, you won't make enough money to feed yourself, been there, done that. You'd be a good candidate for Swift Transport out of Phoenix, AZ.

You will first have to go to school to learn to drive a tractor, Learning to spell will also help in the long run.
Fleet is a term for a company having several trucks, Over The Road drivers are the truckers that usually sleep in their trucks.
