Werner or Swift may take you. Main thing is that you got your CDL-A. I never been asked for a certification. I never bring it up either. You really don't have to go to truck driving school to get a CDL. It is the most convenient way is all. All anyone needs to do is go down to DMV office and take a test to get CDL-A permit. Find a owner operator to teach you, than go back to DMV office to take road test/inspection test. If you pass, than they will give you a CDL-A licence. Total cost is just under $100.00 here in FL if you pass it the 1st time. The hard part is hooking up with an owner operator who is willing to do this. You will need there truck and trailer for testing or rent one from someone like Ryder for around $250.00 plus fuel you use. If you rent rig, you will need someone with a CDL-A to be with you because you only have a permit at this point and time. You already have a licence so you should be good to go. I wouldn't sweat the cert issue. You just need hours behind the wheel. Werner, Swift or team up with owner operator will get you started back up again.
GPS should not hold you back from getting another job unless you used the one on your cell phone. Cell phone usage while driving is a DOT violation. GPS is a company policy and nothing more.
I'm surprised they didn't give you a cert. You earned that.
Good Luck -
Well this is awfully funny to see. I am a driver for PAM, and I have seen this photo. They now use it during orientation. However it is not a gps, it was a cell phone. It was not on the dash either. To be quite honest it looked more like texting than anything else, and in the pic the speedometer clearly read 61 mph.
