Looking for jobs with no experience, 2 accidents and 3 moving violations in Tri-State Region.

Very sound advice honestly. I had made the OP because I knew I was teetering on the edge of barely getting a job in the field or not getting a job at all. I was sort of gauging to see if I stood a chance or I should move on from now so that I am not wasting my time being delusional. I also need to come to terms that I have messed up my record because of my own accord and I can not fast track my way into a driving position. I am reading all the responses, bad and good, and really assessing the damage I have done. I also assume most of you in this thread have been in the business for a long time and maybe before I was even conceived. So Im listening and taking it all in and not trying to play myself knowing that I've backed myself into a corner.

I get what you and @lual have advised and I never even thought of that. I have heard plenty of stories of people digging themselves out of the hole they put themselves in so I know I can do it also and come out on top. And to your second comment and @tscottme safety is important to me but I still have ways to go to prove that. I am at a point in my life where I've realized how my past mistakes whether big or small will come back to haunt me. I'm at that age and mentality where I know I need to grow up and be an adult, I did not have this mentality before but I am starting to notice things. I honestly really appreciate the advice and criticism in this thread. It has allowed to sit back, reflect and reassess how I will move from here on out.

 

Yes it can be rough commuting here but it does not excuse my record unfortunately. Which I even had the foresight to get a lawyer for my MVs.

 

Also I do not personally know anyone in this industry, so I'm basically just relying on information I am getting from this forum and websites like Reddit to get a glimpse of what the industry is about and what it takes to be a part of it.

 

Can you clarify the one arm bandit sentence? Are you talking about those garbage trucks?

 

I just applied for their dock worker/forklift operator. Thank you for the link.
