I feel stuck and out of options, any advice?

Don't know the west cost area that much but, I hear good things from sentinel transportation fuel drivers say they love it. Idk about if oil field driving transfers. I'd look at the environmental side of it there should be some out west that does that.

 

OK, I've got a lot of thoughts here. First and foremost is that you dodged a bullet by CRS not wanting you!

Second, it is very expensive to relocate. And it makes it doubly hard if you don't have any contacts where you are moving or have moved to. You are so much better off if you can find a job where you are currently living.

Now, as to finding that job, if I was in your shoes I'd start looking at the local aggregate outfits. Driving a dump truck or a concrete mixer isn't a whole lot of fun, but it should be fairly steady and pay pretty well. Look into some heavy construction outfits. The ones that do jobs like build highways etc.

If all else fails, look to trash outfits there. Not a pleasant job, but it pays well.

As far as a team OTR, with your lack of experience and you're lady having neither the experience OR the CDL, coupled with your age and your accident, I'd put that on the back burner for three years or so. You'll look a whole lot better to a prospective OTR outfit if you are 25, (and have kept your driving record clean,) than you will at 22. It's just a fact of life. (Even though I know it is NOT what you want to see here. . .)

As far as lying or omitting information on your application, just DO NOT DO IT! I know several folks will think I'm wrong about this. But it sounds to me like right now, you have some integrity. Keep it!

Vegas is an expensive town to live in, but you should be able to find some kind of a driving job there to hold you over for a few years.

Good luck to you!

(I'm kind of surprised that you ticket was related to speeding, rather than the standard "Following To Close.")

 

I worked with them over a year and do not see why they would not take you even for that reason? Did they ask you to go with a trainer for a short period of time? If so, it IS a short period of time.

 

This is my experience, but not be your's or other's.

Since you got a ticket in a cmv it will show on your PSP. Even if you beat it in court it will show the original violation majority of the time if not every time. If reduced to something else it will also show what it was reduced from. I beat one ticket (expired license) in court and one warning (speeding) in a cmv vehicle. But both of them are on my psp and not on my driving record. So do NOT lie on a application. Grounds for immediate dismissal, even if it's not on there yet, it will be, and when you have to do your annual driver report they will catch it. SO beware.

Well hopefully they will. Weather it's Prime, washing cars, or flipping burgers, we all have to do something to just get by. Just think positive and keep your head up no matter the outcome.
Also maybe check into the delivery service company's like, Sysco,McClain,etc.... as a driver assistant delivering to restaurant and convenient stores. Lots of hotels and restaurants in Las Vegas.
Then when someone calls in sick and they're in a bind and u have a CDL ....bam! You get your foot in the door.

 

My advice is to get a different kind of job until you turn 23. That's the magic number for the insurance companies.
