I got my Class A in October of last year and didn’t pursue a trucking job until now. Am I screwed?

The market for new driver's is very poor right now. That said, I got my CDL-A and did not get a driving job for 2 1/2 years and I didn't even have to do a refresher. This was about 10 years ago with Maverick Transportation. Again, while I did it then you may find it harder now as companies are much more picky with hiring now than they were then. Best wishes to you!

 

think Paschal Truck Lines does refereshers as well. Look into local communtiy colleges that have a cdl program they may offer refreshers. Not to be a dick but since you brought up thc make sure you are clean and stay that way. this industry does not mess around when it comes to drugs/alcohol and if you end up in that sap program you won't find a job. Not in this economy. Best of luck to ya.

 

Nah it’s fine I got mine10 years ago and still get offers lol I’ve used it on and off. More class B than A really but I’m holding out for something local

 

Definitely not screwed, they will just stick you with a trainer

Don't matter. I got my CDL in Nov of 15 and didn't step foot into a commercial truck after testing until Jun of 17.
