Denied by Wil-trans/Jim Palmer

See you cut yourself short again. Many many have posted helpful hints, but you don't want to hear about the GED and education and why you need that first.

You simply just want to jump into a job market where you basically are at the bottom of the hiring range, ie, no GED and lack of work for 8 years.

Start at square one... get your GED...

This is Swift

Social Security Number

• Home address history for the past 3 years

• Current drivers license number and drivers license history for the past 3 years

• Employment history up to 10 years.

• History of traffic accidents, violations, and / or convictions from the last 5 years (including DUI or reckless driving convictions and license suspensions)

• Criminal history

• Military history (if applicable)

 

Jim Palmer DOES carefully examine every application.

 

Maybe they don't want to hand over $200k worth of equipment to someone with no work history or seems like they might be on the Felony Track. It's their truck they decide.

 

Witte Brothers has a cdl school. Check out their website.

 

+1 for swift

I know someone who didn't have a diploma or ged and just came off 2 years Unemployment and started out at swift.. Im pretty sure companies don't check as long as you check yes on app.. I have a diploma and it has never came out of a box since leaving high school. Not encouraging anyone to lie on application.. I'd send out apps to all of em that train, one of em got to pick you up, I'd give up on em paying you during school tho. Save some money to support yourself till you get a trainer.. good luck..

 

Q, Pam has its issues but it might be the best opportunity for now. My neighbor drives for them regionally and I see his truck parked most every weekend. As far as the GED I think you should look into getting this taken care of and I think you'll be glad you did.

 

Follow through with C-1 and then plenty of companies will hire you. Even if PAM pay is low, it's a start to a real lucrative future. PAM isn't a lifetime commitment so in a few months you can find something better because you'll then be qualified for dozens of companies.

 

You're right; I know lots of drivers that check "yes" to a GED or high school diploma. You can even buy a diploma online. Google : "fake diplomas" and anything you want is there.
