Complicated situations

Insurance companies will be the problem.

 

From doing a lot of research and reading, it looks like some companies in the oilfield will hire the right person with no CDL, help them get their CDL, and then employ them. So I'd guess opportunities might be there for a CDL holder without formal training. Just an idea.

I'll be watching this thread. I've always wondered what my possibilities would be if I just rented a truck, had someone show me what I needed to do to pass the CDL test, and then went ahead and got it without formal training.

 

You failed one time,I say go with Prime try it again and study while you're waiting for school to start and also ask for help, tips and advice from your dad.

 

How do you fail a pre trip? Just curious. No slander meant. I've never taken a truck school so I'm probably doing wrong.

 

Put where you live in your profile...this will help others help you...general area.

 

I agree with Pattyj....

There are a couple things to consider.... when I first graduted and got my CDL.. I got on with an owner operator pulling flatbed.. seemed like a great opportunity for me... only, it wasnt.. he paid me cash... and although I actually got some great experience... it didnt count... I spent nearly 6 months out on the road with him and none of it counted a verifiable experience... and since I had no verifiable experience for 6 months after graduating and getting my CDL.. I needed to take a refresher course to be hired on anywhere...

So, although you will get some training and experience out with your dad... you need to make sure it can be verified... so, will you be on the pay roll... if not, then it wont count...

if you really want to be a truck driver then dont give up... just because you failed at central..
Try prime.. or another....

 

They may because i cancel my orientation date once with prime i went to werner and when i called them back they told me that they are not interested nd i told him to kiss my ###.

 

That's the spirit!
