varifiable work history

I took six months between jobs. I just put down that I was day trading stocks at home.

 

I had problems with work history also and got ignored by a couple companies.
Best way to try is just say you were "out of workforce" and leave it at that.

Everything else on my record was perfect..couldn't asked for better..
1. Paul Transportation took me in.. (didn't work out)
2. Schneider ignored me after giving me a pre-hire.
3. Ctl turned me down because of no work history.
4. Werner was willing to take me on (decided against )
5. A shady L/O took me in and screwed me out of $4k +
6. My current job didn't care about work history. (Turning out to be an awesome job )

In short..you're just going to have to make a bunch of phone calls. Some will overlook it, others won't.

Try getting your license from a private school instead of through a trucking company.

 

I'd think Philadelphia is a very good hiring area for OTR truck drivers.

 

When I was declared disabled, the effective tax years were over that year. It's coming up on 20 years since I filed taxes. I still keep up on that though, don't want to get rusty.

 

You'll need someone to verify where you worked and unemployed.Ask your dad to write a letter.The employer will need that for their record.
