What is going on? No experience, clean record, but no hires

your all set then up there in Sioux city

 

oops!

 

earlier post said you went to southwest truck driving school

on there site
he Class A Commercial Driver License program is designed to provide each student with a basic knowledge of the requirements for a Class A CDL. The program is structured to provide each student with sufficient behind-the-wheel driving time for development of practical skills necessary to attain a Class A CDL. Successful completion of this program qualifies graduates for an entry-level position into the trucking industry. All successful graduates will receive Job Placement Services in all types of jobs in the transportation field, including local, regional, and national jobs. so why are they not placing you or helping you ?

Southwest offers lifetime Job Placement assistance to every individual that graduates from our training facilities. Whether you need to be home every night, or want to see the country, the Job Placement Department is here to assist you in making your career a success!

 

Try some local companies. Stuff like construction hauling, environmental work, dirt hauling. These places typically hire newer drivers. The work is hard. The pay is fair but most of all you'll get plenty of seat time.

If you can get even 6 months of drive time it will make going Otr easier

 

It's good you went through school, however your experience in just driving is your hold up. I've been driving for 40 years and have a good driving record. I got my CDL over a year ago, I have 5 months driving a dump truck pulling a Tag and 7 months OTR refer. That is not enough to get a local job. It's an insurance thing. But because you have only a couple years of just driving you become a liability and a risk. CR England would be a good starting point but a bad company to work for. A lot of teem training and they push leasing the truck, not for me. I drove for WEL. And most importantly, life on the road is hard, very hard. I loved it and I hated it however I would do it again. It was hard for me to maintain my home and be gone 4-5 weeks at a time. So if driving is what you want to do, just keep looking and you will find something.

 

Try Stevens Transport

 

It could be your age.

But how are you looking for work? Have you even got off the phone or computer? If you haven't then your theory is to let the busy companies come to you.

 

I am thinking age is the issue. There are some companies out there that require a noobie to be 26. Not saying I agree, but that is the way it is.

 

Can you name us the trucking school and location?

This is fun. It's like playing Charades.

 

It is in the earlier posts, "Southwestern Truck driving School" in Phoenix.
