    One trick I sometimes suggest is getting a tax transcript from the IRS, if you've ever worked. You just tell them this is a direct report from the IRS with wage information. They probably won't know how to read it, and it'll look official enough for most people.

    US Xpress will work with you. They have you sign a form stating you were self employed. Not an issue at most companies.

    Pretty good starting point for newbies. kinda low starting cpm pay but are a big company. decent hometime, benefits, etc. If you talk with a recruiter make sure to ask if you get an assigned truck to take home. Otherwise getting home is on you.

    Hi. When I came back to Driving after 11 years, I simply wrote I'd been ( was ) retired. I had no problems. I wanted , not needed, to come back as I was bored outta my gord.

    So do they check your whole 10 year work history or just jobs you used your CDL?? Or is it just the past 3 years they check on?? I am confused..

    They have to account for what you have been doing for 10 years. If unemployed, just put that down

    I worked for a company in 2011 driving. But have been working a reg non driving jobs since. Would they be able to get my records from 2011 driving job is my question. The past 3 years is a restaurant job so that fine. Would that even pull up on a dac being that long ago?
