    I think I'm just going to go to school and get my CDL and see what happens after that. If the school can't help place me somewhere then I'll start searching for companies that aren't so strict in their requirements.

    Why not go to a company that pays for your training?

    That's a good start, I can hardly imagine they haven't bumped into a similar situation. Maybe they can give you some pointers on what other documents you could use.

    I do not know if you are wasting your time. However, I am sure that I am wasting mine.

    the Chicago White Volvo Fleet will hire you
    They hire as a contractor on 1099 but it is a job
    If you can still talk to ex father in law a letter from him will help
    I was self employed for 35 years a letter from my accountant sufficed
    3 years for new CDL holders is all I have ever heard of
    once in the buisness 10 years

    I find it hard to believe that a letter from a random person that could be telling a story is enough to convince them. I could have anyone do that.

    You never know it's worth a try.a company wanted two people to verify I was unemployed and taking care of my mother when she was alive.the two people was my Dad and neighbor.companies need something to file.

    I wonder what that documentation would be.
    That reg only deals with DOT regulated employers, by the way.

    And even so, the insurance companies dictate just as much as the letter of the law.
    If they won't insure a person, that person won't drive.
     
    JRT871 Thanks this.

    Just in case I can't find an OTR job after school, what else is there that I can do with a CDL?
