Copy the violations exactly as they are on the MVR, nothing else, and then if there is the 15 over or something that is bad, get a lawyer, get the case(s) reopened, and get them all reduced. THEN copy everything exactly from your MVR. -
@ScottyB 336 --
I don't think anyone here (thus far) has explained to you the "big picture" of what you now are facing....
The overall CDL freight market is currently in a slump. Thus -- many carriers have....in most cases....cut back on their hiring....and/or tightened up their hiring requirements.
The thinking at present is generally this should start to improve sometime next year.
But of course -- no one really knows for sure when things will start to truly rebound.
Given the above -- I think you're getting a "chilly" response from carriers because:
- On your applications -- you're reportingj/listing a citation that either doesn't exist...or has been changed/reduced to something else (either way -- this is a recruiting "red flag")
- As of the time of this writing -- you don't have a CDL, yet (or any relevant endorsements to go with it) -- thus, you actually have nothing to offer
- The above-described abysmal freight market has created a nasty hiring environment for drivers with less than a year of experience.
Henceforth -- only report what is on your MVR when filling out applications (and only for the period of time specified/requested -- for example: "in the last 3 years, any accidents/citations?"); don't make your situation artificially worse by mentioning things that no longer exist -- or that are further back in time than requested on the app.
Here are a couple of sources of opportunity that are looking for help in your area, that hire (and train) brand new CDL holders:
Maverick Transportation -- this is flatbed duty -- easily some of the best training in the flatbed industry
Werner Enterprises -- southeastern regional duty (dry van or reefer) -- accepts brand new CDL holders
Schneider is also hiring in your area -- but either of the above I think would be a better choice/start (note: I'm a Schneider vet).
Do not accept any job or account that has you delivering to ANY of the so-called "dollar" stores: Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc. Leave those jobs alone! Be sure to ask about this when a recruiter offers you a position (whether it's dedicated -- or not).
Because of the above factors: BE PREPARED FOR SEVERAL POSSIBLE "NO" ANSWERS/REPLIES....before you get a "yes".
When first starting out in the CDL world -- I went through the same thing -- and this was back when freight volumes were much more attractive.
Your odds of being interviewed & hired sooner rather than later will be significantly better if you already have hazmat, tanker and doubles/triples endorsements (along with that valid class "A" CDL) at the time you submit your applications.
