Chinatown has already recommended these people to you, but I will bring them to your attention, again--with them, they will pay you to train--& later.....you can progress up from flatbed on to oversized/step-deck/multi-axle--without changing employers (very cool):
No Experience? No problem! — R. E. West Transportation (rewest.com)
&
Services — R. E. West Transportation (rewest.com)
Be sure to check out their "no bull" sheet, too........on :
Hiring Process — R. E. West Transportation (rewest.com)
Another advantage with them--they're a much smaller company than many of the other starter flatbed companies out there--so it will have a more "family" feel to it. Odds are also much higher you will also meet (and know) the owner(s) of the company.
Total disclosure: I don't/haven't worked for them or with them (past or present)--I've just seen/heard good things about them in this area.

I work in recruiting over here as part of my duties. All you need is a continuous time line. It doesn't matter if it says "unemployed" or "self employed," it just has to be a continuous timeline for at least 36 months for federal records compliance. Your last month in school is accounted for, as you were in trucking school. The time you were working odd jobs, go ahead and put "self-employed" and under remarks, put "cleaning shops, handyman services, auto body repair, *whatever you were doing*, etc.". You verify with yourself that you were employed by you and were a good employee (LOL nobody is going to ask, because they know the answer in advance).
Just about all of the megas will still take you on, you just can't have a gap in reporting.Bizzarrogeorge, Another Canadian driver, jmarc77 and 1 other person Thank this. -

When I went from self employed to trucking I gave them my Fed Id#. Never was questioned about it except "what did you do". This was in '99.

Just list the company on your job application. Doesn't matter if it was part time or not. That's what I would do.
