    Members,

    I don’t like my current situation anymore than anybody else does. I feel I have a lot of potential. I’m not trying to work underneath the table at all. All my previous employers have put me on a W-2 and I report it straight to Social Security. I’m a really terrific guy and I’m sorry if I gave the wrong impression off to you.

    Dude
    You post too much of your whiny personal BS on here. This is a trucking forum not Dear Abby. That’s why you get picked on.

    He has Autism. I like the guy because he's trying his best and refuses to give up.

    hey,

    I came here for advice. I didn’t come here to get picked on or anything like that. I just need someone to tell me to go back and get my CDL and give me a chance and I will prove myself plus every naysayer wrong. I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to try and get help for myself and better my life. I’m sorry to say it so bluntly, but I’m not one to sugarcoat things.
     
    LilRedRidingHood, 201 and Jamie01 Thank this.

    Clean up your driving record and your problem will be solved. Keep your cdl active and some mega will hire you.

    Driving record will be clean as of June 2025. I will definitely get my CDL active as soon as possible. I plan on moving about 30 miles north of Melbourne once I can. Titusville Florida to be specific which is north of 528 and about as far north as I can at the moment.

    I disagree, we ARE supposed to be your friends, and I saw nothing wrong with your posts. Sometimes, folks here get overwhelmed by the amount of times we go over and over certain topics, me included, but what I'm impressed about the site, is generally, when we were green, we were on our own. Nobody cared, fact is, your failure meant their advancement. Not here, and most, through experience, know what to do, they just have a poor way of expressing it sometimes. We're truck drivers, not politicians. To be honest, I wouldn't even bother with a CDL anymore, there are so many options, especially in Fl. where probably half the countries money is, and with disasters on the rise, non-trucking work should not be a problem.
     
    LilRedRidingHood, Kyle G. and Numb Thank this.
