1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    At what CDL school did you finish?

    How many hours credit was it?

    How's your driving record, otherwise?

    And what about your criminal history?

    Does your CDL have an automatic restriction?

    Part of your problem may not be your fault.

    Due to economic conditions, the freight market has contracted in the last several months.

    Carriers seem to be hiring less, and/or getting pickier about who/where they hire.

    Drivers in certain (other) locations have been furloughed, as well.

    Thus--you may have to work a bit harder than earlier, to score that first CDL gig.

    There's your problem. That's not a CDL school, its a CDL mill.
