  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 am considered a newbie at driving because I got my CDL a few years back but never actually got into it because of some issues. Now I have a family I have to worry about and I want to get into the industry because I know there is money to be made, and I was recently laid off from my previous job. I was wondering if there are companies that I can get into, even if it means driving teams. Unfortunately, a lot of companies require experience, and I don't have the required experience. Any suggestions? Maybe some help getting into a company? Team?

    It is an uphill battle. I have 13 years, but got out 5 years ago. Now trying to get back in and most companies will take a student over my old experience. You might look for companies that do offer schooling, and possibly get retrained with one of them. Best of luck to you.

    Yeah, I was thinking about going back to do retraining, but I have a family I gotta take care of. With my wife now working and 2 little ones, its hard to just up and go do it.
