CDL-A Grad No Experience - I need help

Once you have your CDL A to add HazMat almost everything can be done on your own. Your employer isn't involved normally unless they offer to pay for it. Some do, some don't.

HazMat requires
1. CDL
2. Pass computer test (study free online TruckerCountry.com or phone app)
3. Fingerprints ($86 fee)
4. TSA background check
5. Replacementof plastic CDL license card

 

Auto restriction is just a very tiny negative and it's only negative at the companies with manual trucks. 80-90% of fleets are auto fleets. I would NOT worry about it AT ALL unless you are determined to work Heavy-haul or construction CDL.

 

I'm sure a company that rejected you for weight will reconsider you if you are below their cutoff. They MIGHT want you say 25 lbs under the 300 if you were rejected before, but I doubt it. That's probably just my anxiety & imagination working overtime.

I beg you not to be overly negative right now. What you've described sounds minor to medium AT MOST. It's nowhere near a really tough path like happens a lot in last few years. We see multiple DUIs, no work in 5+ years, failed drug tests left & right, etc. You are nowhere near that kind of difficulty, IMO, and I'm usually just barely able to keep my cool with those situations. I would say you are wasting your time if I thought so. I don't see that AT ALL.

 

Go to vocational school. I.t. or medical.

 

Require experience. At least 2 years of CDL experience.

 

Don’t worry about any of that. Job hopper is a term created by corporations. You’re not a job hopper, you’re a young man that was lied to. You’re only one application away from an actual decent job.

 

This one isn't trucking, but does require long distance driving.
