    I applied with them, received an email, and then reapplied. I hope this works out well for me. Thank you so much for your assistance.

    I worked in a fiberglass plant making truck bodies for 6 months. When I quit I had to burn not only my clothes, but my bed sheets as well. And I made all of $9 an hour.

    But I had a job. And I was happy to have it at the time.

    It's necessary for you to register at the Clearinghouse if you want to work. If you don't register you will not be hired by legitimate companies. It allows your info to remain private and companies to share drug tests concerning you.

    Yes, I will. Your story made me think of some things I've had to do in the past to get back on my feet.

    Since you haven't worked as a US CDL driver in 7 years you do not have 1 year recent verifiable experience.

    Thank you
    Yes I did register and logged in
    I've never seen it before. I was unsure whether it was a company issue or something else.

    New accounts need maybe 10 messages posted on the forum before they can send a Private Message or start a Conversation (a private thread directed to 1 other user). Since @Firas has more than 10 posts he has put on the forum he can start the conversation with @Graceful Trucking if Firas wants to. Or, Graceful Trucking can post a thread asking a question in whatever parts of the forum until he has 10 posts in his history. Then he can start the Conversation with Firas.
     
    Firas Thanks this.

    The US govt added the Clearinghouse requirement while you were gone. Never avoid asking the question. That's how you get answers.
     
    Firas Thanks this.
