have a shot?

I'd say you have one depending how old the tickets are, and if any of them were 15+ over. But it would be a slim chance with most in my opinion.

 

Job hopping and some tickets: Guilty

Posses Tanker, Haz-mat, doubles/triples endorsements and not a Felon. Should throw in a application.

Salad, That is his opinion and only his opinion.

 

I misread, I thought you had 8 seperate tickets.

Yes, with 7 years experience, if the speeding ticket is all you have you should have no trouble signing on. Sorry!

 

Dude, I hopped jobs so often they thought I was part kangaroo. Don't worry about an 8-over ticket, that's nothing. It may have been a bone of contention once, but there's an actual driver shortage going on, so they aren't really going to care. (There are limits, however--being tagged for running 90mph with a beer in your hand and a joint in your mouth will probably get you round-filed.)

Once you get your doubles, throw those apps in, be honest about your background, and be patient. FXF took a year to call me back, but it was well worth the wait. Good luck!

 

If there is a driver shortage going on, these companies sure are picky still. I applied with Estes on Thursday morning, called back today and they said they were going to pass on me because I have under a year of experience. I've done food service for 5 months, and been doing city P&D with Reddaway for almost 4 months now. He mentioned that it looks like I "job hopped" a lot and to call back and reapply when you have 2 years exp.

another one one of my former co-workers just hired on with them last week and he has been thru 5 jobs in the last year... Talk about job hopping.

 

I'd also apply to any fuel carrier. far less labor and same or more pay with nice packages as well lol.
When I joined ABF had no intention of getting tanker endorsement, Now it's mandatory. ABF is a great company to work for, but other ways to make a honest fair wage with your credentials and not beat up your body.

 

Well, a driver shortage doesn't mean there aren't standards, just that they're more lax than they were. After one year, the door begins to open. After two years, you're welcome at 90% of companies, and after five years with a decent record, you can pretty much write your own ticket.

Don't get discouraged...experience counts for a lot, and that will only come with time.

 

Many threads on here about various ways around the experienced needed situation. No cliff notes from me in this thread, Did my researching and trial and errors.
