    I am getting my CDL in a couple of weeks. I would like to know if I can get hired at a company or which ones should I apply for?
    When I checked my MVR it shows 3 suspension from 2 incidents really.
    #1 - Incident 3/26/2001 suspension 6/11/21 E.O.S 06/16/2023 invalid driver license - in a area I didn't live in and forgot about the ticket which led to a suspension I didn't know about. (Failure to appear)
    #2-3 incident 5/16/2022 suspension 8/27/2022 E.O.S 10/14/2022 got pulled over for no seat belt (b.s I had my seat belt on and was driving a uhaul so impossible for him to see that from the rear) but during the stop that's when I found out my license was suspended. ( Failure to pay)

    No criminal record, no accidents. Based in Indiana. What are the odds starter companies will take a chance on me or even getting a trucking job in general? Company suggestions would help also thank you in advance.

    No moving or speeding violations, so you should be ok.
    Explain the tickets in detail to the recruiters & on the applications.

    I know you'll have your cdl in a couple of weeks and since you're in cdl school now, go ahead and start applying for jobs.
    How many hours is the cdl school?

    Don't know if KLLM will hire you right away, since you aren't attending their cdl school, so call and ask.

    Schneider might hire you. Only problem is a driver just posted Schneider has a new rule that you must drive in the center lane of a 3 lane highway. That tends to hold up other truckers and that irritates them.
    New safety policy is causing me trouble
    You can apply to the company anyway if you need to.
