Hi there,
Ill start off by saying that I am still considered a new driver/rookie {11 months exp} with only a little bit of formal training.
In 2022 , i got my CDL from 160 Driving Academy and which is a Three week program but my training kept getting extended due to the school equiptment issues (trucks broke down everyday).Since getting my CDL ive worked at maybe five differrnet Companies and two of them i never drove for because the didnt have enough female trainers and the wait time for a trainer was about 2 months so i had no choice but to find another job. I wasnt particular on who trained me I just needed to start working ASAP.
Well, long story short. I got sucked into a 6month contract at a second chance company and then the fired me for what they called a minor incident , at that time i would have have atleast 3 other Minor Incidents (backing/Scraping trailers) with this company ,all of which i asked to be paired with a Driver Trainer so they wouldnt happen again. They told me it wasnt nessecary because i was in my own truck and just to complete the online saftey trainings they sent to me.
At this current time I am unemployable. 73+ companies have denied my application because I was terminated by the saftey team at the second chance company. I cant afford to pay for training out of pocket and cant find another job.
Basically im asking for advice...Am I still empolyable? Who would hire me? or should i just throw in the towel and give up on trucking?
please excuse all the spelling errors...
Fired by a Second chance company...am I employable?

You’ve been asked several times “Where are you Located” ? Even though it seems that trucking isn’t for you, you still might have a chance to possibly find a small company like an owner operator set up 1099. That’s if your still interested. But you need to state your LOCATION………
First post: might not come back…….
