    i want to be a truck driver but the company that was gonna train me denied me because I rear ended someone in April. I live in Alabama, anyone know of a company that will still hire me if I go to driving school?

    There's some that might hire you if you attend a cdl school first. The state of Alabama might pay for cdl school through the WIOA Program. This is free to you.
    Western Express
    Roadtex Transportation
    Senn Freight Lines
    TransAm
    Flat Creek Transportation - in Alabama
    Carolina Cargo
    If worse comes to worse, borrow the money for cdl school or pay with a credit card.

    Check your career center. I'm not sure about Alabama, but in Tennessee, they will give you a grant for you to go to a trade school if it leads to employment. If they do offer that program, there will be a little bit of leg work involved to get that grant.

    I listed 6 companies in Post #2, so ask all of them for a "pre-hire" before starting school. Those companies will tell you if they will hire you when you graduate.
