I just got my cdl a month ago and it's been going down hill ever since job wise. I can't even get a job with the infamous werner. So here is the deal. 6 jobs in the last 3 years because I wanted to travel to different places. An at fault wreck 4 years ago and when the digging gets deeper you find 2 DUI's 12 and 17 years ago as well as 4 PI's in the 20 year ago range. Yeah I used to get a little rawdy in my younger days but that was then and this is now. So what's the verdict? Have I just wasted $4000.00 dollars are is there a company out there that will hire such an awful, awful person such as myself.
Will any company hire me with a past like mine?

at the moment at least the big companies are looking for saints.
your best luck will be a local company, try dumps or even concrete companies.
until this CSA 2010 crap works out the large companies are going to look very carefully at who they hire. -
The schools cash in on guys like you. I doubt you will land anything worthy of your time. If you do find something it will be a renegade outfit that will burn up that high dollar CDL before the ink dries. Sorry, I know this is not what you want to hear, but it is the the reality of trucking school cash ins.

You might be better off trying the really small companies. Really small !!!!
Or perhaps local work like beer or soda companies........ -

1. You are not an awful person.... at least if you've learned your lesson. There are concequences for the ####### things we do and they hurt. For some reason people think truckers are all outlaws and trucking is some kind of "hole in the wall" gang where nothing matters.
Think about this. Would you hand over the keys to a $100,000 plus rig plus a trailer full of freight worth many thousands to just whomever blew in off the street? The insurance industry has been taking a real beating the last few years and yeah, they're cracking down hard on the more careless practices of the trucking companys. -

Maybe if the economy and freight picks up they won't be as picky also.
Good luck man
