    So I got terminated from Werner for cellphone use two weeks ago. Also an accident. I only have 6 months experience. Been trying to get hired on but no one will take me. They all say the same thing. I have to drive with another company for 6 months before I can be considered. My question is. Can I just do another job and just sit out for awhile then trying to apply again in a couple months? If so how long can I wait before being considered? Yes I know I should’ve done better and I should’ve had 10 years experience before getting my CDL. I get it. It’s Monday. So just waiting to hear back from some companies today.

    What's the accident details? Just a little buff out scratch probably?

    Different companies have different rules. There is no "you haven't used your CDL in X months so we can't hire you" rule that applies to all employers. You need to find the individual company you want to work for and find out their rule. You are much better off working at ANY LEGAL job while you cannot find CDL jobs.

    Sounds like a no fault to you accident. That part shouldn't effect getting another job.

    you’d think right. But they don’t see it that way. They just put me down for cell phone use. But I’m trying to see because every carrier I’ve called to says the same thing. They want 6 months clean record. But won’t give me any. So I’m stuck

    still waiting. But I keep getting the same answer. Want to see if I should just get another job and wait it out? If so. How long before applying again?
