Questions about Trucking School

Are you sure they did't say DAC?

 

There's no way they can pull your CDL. The most they can do is report you on the DAC/USIS which may be a problem. They can also come after you for payment for the school. What's done is done. What you have to do now is look to complete your training and that will require some work on your part. It sounds like you went to the large bottom feeders that call the driver trainers mentors. Companies like that go out of their way to ruin drivers by reporting what they can. It's a racket so the best bet is to find a company that doesn't buy into all that cr*p.

I believe your best bet is to download a list of trucking companies in your area and get out and talk to them personally. Then you can explain your situation face to face to where you'll have a better chance at getting a shot. Any time a company reads a job application and sees any negative points they just pass it on.

You can try smaller companies and/or local companies. You never know those jobs may turn out to be better than OTR. Anyway you look at it you've got to do some leg work and fight off the bad the company may have reported. Don't get discouraged and keep going after a career and do it with a positive courteous attitude.

 

That's good that you paid for the school only because they won't come after you now. But I can pretty much guarantee that they will put a bad mark on your record. If they don't then all you have to do is find another school or another path to get a job. A good accredited school will assure you a good qualification. It's what the insurance companies look for. You'd think the trucking companies make the decision to hire or not but just about all the time they take the insurance company's word.

 

You failed to mention when this happened.

They may not hit you DAC right away, it may take time !!!!!

Have you checked into the new driver training requirements ?? I'm not sure if they are in effect yet...............

Good Luck !!
