A Fresh Start in Trucking

In 2006 I got my CDL from Swift and drove for 1 year. I was 21 years old. In the first 6 weeks, I had 2 minor incidents and then a 3rd one about 11 months later. So because I had 3 within 1 year, I was terminated. The third one happened literally one day too soon.I tried to get hired somewhere else for several months with no luck. So I gave up and went to work in restaurants.

I'm 39 now and I am confident I will do a better job and avoid any incidents. I have zero tickets/accidents on my license. I really want to train at Wilson Logistics and give this another try. Has enough time passed to wipe the slate clean and get a fresh start?

 

No, my CDL expired in 2009. And I live in Virginia.

 

Wilson is pretty much the only option for me because it's the only one I can find with free training AND allows 2 dogs. The pet policy has made finding a company a lot more difficult. Thanks for your help.

 

The pet policy is why I landed on Wilson, I need to bring 2 dogs. I am in Richmond 23225.

 

Oh yes definitely, I am having my parents watch them for up to 5 months, cuz Wilson says after the ~3 months of training you have to team drive with another recent grad for 6-8 weeks.
