    Hi ya'all,

    I have just graduated driving school at Napier in OH. Great school!!! Now it's time to find that job. I have my Class A with Hazmat but also have a sketchy past with 2 felony's, both over ten years old. I live in Northern Kentucky and hope to gain some usefull information from some of you experienced drivers out there.

    Thanks for your time,
    BigCountryKY

    Didn't you have the opportunity to pre-hire with carriers while going to school? Congrats on getting your CDL, spend some time on the computer and get some applications going.

    Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on getting your CDL...now apply, Apply, APPLY! Use any and all resources available-school placement, online, phone, word of mouth, go to the local truck stops.

    Applications will vary on the information and detail requested, regardless be honest when completing the process. If you are denied a job because of what's on the application it will be less harmful than damaging your DAC by showing termination after employment.
