Trying to get a carrier to hire me for financial aid

Hogan might be a bit gunshy about dui's. My brother, and I wish I was making this up, got popped a few years ago for on US 23 in Ohio. IN THE TRUCK! OSP impounded the truck and 45,000 of Budweiser.

 

picked up the load with 45250 lbs lol

 

You should contact companies first and get a commitment to hire you before going though the expense of the school. There are.companies who have their own schools but be careful with them and dont assume that because they take you into their school they will hire you..

I started with a bottom feeder so to speak..covenant.. paid my dues as you say and moved on..

12 years later.. now 57 years old.. I have been doing quite well for years...

I didn't have the driving record you have but it can be done..

stay straight and be safe...

 

If all else fails..England.

 

England would be the absolute last resort...

You will find something... try smaller companies

 

PTL...paschal truck lines in murray,ky would be better and they would hire you...

 

I'm surprised Chinatown hasn't commented in here, but maybe this isn't his cup of tea per se. Anyway, yes, get companies to give you pre-hire letters BEFORE you start school. That is your best bet. If you are considering looking into company-based training look into your state's regulations on transferring your CDL back to your home state (where you receive your mail), if the company-based training is out of your state. Just do your research. I say staying in your state is key, but get those pre-hire letters just to insure your job possibilities out of school!

On the background checks: yes, most companies do a 10 year period check. It all depends on the severity of your prior charges at hand. I know with the HAZMAT, it goes all the way back. Still, any offenses could show up on your background check. Just be honest, but don't share too much information (if need be).

Best of luck to you!
