I have been driving for about 3 years now and really need some help. I live in Staten Island, NY, and the last company I worked for was Ester Express Lines. Worst company I have ever seen. Equipment all broken. Mechanics always say "dude there's nothing wrong with it". Long story short their yard jokey drivers caused an accident in a yard when I arrived. Bobtailing slowly thru at about 5 mph one flew out of nowhere from behind a trailer, and made a 10 mph U-turn almost running into me because he didnt bother to check where he was going. Blamed me, I got fired. I have worked for 4 companies in the 3-4 years I have had a CDL. They all seem to lie to get you into the door then start ruining your life. I am unemployed at the moment, nobody seems to respond to my applications. Is it because I have too many things to list on an application where it asks your 10 year history? I also dont have a resume, I am very bad and dont know how to deal with those. Oh and I have one accident on my record from new york city but it doesnt list me at fault.
I am very depressed and need help. I am a us navy veteran with 3-4 years cdl experience and nobody will hire me. I have all endorsements, but leaving new york state doesnt transfer hazmat so I will not have that. I want a local job somewhere peaceful and quiet. I dont want to be here in new york city, would move almost anywhere just hoping to avoid the large cities if possible. Anybody know what I should do or am I screwed and should I just give up. Thank you for your time.
I need help please, Unemployed

Well, Navy vet; I'm also a Navy vet.
Don't worry, we'll help you find work and a new place to live.
I recommend Florida, Texas, Nevada as good places to relocate to. The weather is good and there's no state income taxes.

Try Rouse Trucking and Anfield Trucking LLC.
Let both companies know you want to relocate so are looking for a job in the state you choose.

Sorry, yard jockey's always have the right of way. Do something else, and the industries loss. Being a vet, things have never been better for you, an awareness of a good person. Sadly, that doesn't matter in the trucking world, and you are too good for it. Really, use your vet "card", I almost guarantee, you can do a lot better than trucking. Thank you for your service,

Do something else? Well I was a helicopter electrician for 5 years in the navy, I came out and tried to be a pilot but that didnt work out for money reasons. I ended up working on the railroad. Got a job with CSX as a conductor, and have to get promoted to locomotive engineer which was my lifelong dream. Unfortunately they cut too many jobs and my seniority vanished into thin air so I kind of just ended up getting a CDL. Also good with computers, always build my own and lots of fun. If I give up trucking, not really sure where else to go or how to go about it. Nothing seems to work out.
