Trucker with bad MVR looking for a job

Jobs | Penske

 

I drove for Penske home daily for about six months before buying a truck. A few of my coworkers had records similar to yours, truly fine, but some magical number of warnings or whatever meant that when they tried to get other CDL jobs, a shocking variety of places rejected them in ways that made no sense.

No idea what your specific boss would like, but mine was awesome. When I bought the truck, it was from a place along my delivery route. My boss put a second driver in the truck with me, and let me end my shift driving the truck I had bought (the one in my pfp) home.

There's also a bit of growth room. If you have hazmat/tanker/doubles/triples etc, you can apply for elite driver position after six months, wherein you do your local thing one week a month, and up to 3 weeks, they fly you out to whatever random Penske account needs more drivers, and you get paid way more. The elite drivers I knew were making like $3k/week W2. Home a week, out 3 weeks.

Your speeding ticket is what's hurting you. It needs to be 3 years old before a reputable company will look at you, and you want local so you'll lose out to drivers with cleaner records. Check Craigslist for jobs under the radar. Some of those Craigslist jobs will work with you.

 

Shouldn't have any problem finding a 1099 job from Craigslist.
