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.

    I'm thinking Central Refrigerated. IIRC they can work with felonies and they do offer a refresher for about $1k with a payroll deduct over a year.

    Well .... call 'em up because they don't say anything about it on their website but one of the recruiters basically told me what I said above (except for the felony thing ... that's just hearsay).


    I know that there's one or two others but I can't remember who they are right now.


    Good luck.

    I wonder how many members of the U.S. Senate and The U.S. House of Representatives would actually qualify for a trucking job(as a driver) at this time.



    The amount of scrutiny even before this CSA 2010 takes effect seems excessive, but maybe that's what we need to create that driver shortage everybody is looking for.:biggrin_25511:
