I won't try to add to anything @Chinatown has told you. However before I signed and indenture myself for a year with a carrier, I would check out getting that CDL through a Tech school. Most of these schools have kickazz records when it comes to job placements. Just saying, look around before you sign anything!

 

I am not sure what to tell you about living in the here and now. This is very important. Now by my comment do not infer I was bad mouthing the company financed schools. In the end a person must do what is best for them. I do wish you well and can tell you for a FACT that rear ender on your record will not be much of a problem in the future.

 

Nothing is going to prevent you from trucking. So what if some sourpuss in a large company rained on you with a phone call. Most of the time they cannot be bothered to call a rejected applicant back. I hate to be difficult while tossing peanuts.

Maybe they need someone to TUCK them in at night to feel better at work tomorrow. He he.

Anyway.

You will find trucking to be intolerant of the vehicles you managed to destroy in the past, but given enough time provided you did not use a CMV in a felony or murdering you will find work in one at some point in the future. Just not right now.

My own position would be some what caustic to such a sourpuss in hiring over there in Jackson. Thinking of all the insurance scammers I did not hit when they deliberately set up in front with full braking to try and make me hit them.
