In need of serious advice, hoping some experience drivers can shed some light.

Back in 2006 I got my Class A CDL license. I never went to a formal training school, an uncle of mine, who is an experience driver trained me, I went to and tested, BAM, got my license.

I worked for a couple tank truck companies, carrying water to oil rigs between 2006-2012. (I have tank endorsements). Then in Sptember of 2012 I moved states and started working at a local Trash/Recycling center. I worked as a driver. They required a class B license, it was local job, home every night, good pay plus benefits so I stayed until 2015.

While driving for this company back in March 2014 I received a ticket for failing to obey road signs (I was driving my personal vehicle on my way to work at 5am and got pulled over for not making a complete stop).

Then in August 2014, while working my route a guy said that I had hit the side of his vehicle with my trash truck. I to this day I say it was BS. This guy's house was on my Wednesday Route and didn't bother to contact my employer till that next Monday. The only evidence they had were pictures of the truck (which their truck was white and our trucks were green and their car didn't have an inch of paint on it) and saying that my truck was the only one on the street during the time their truck was believed to have been hit because that is what a neighbor told them. Also, I would have noticed if I hit another vehicle and I would have never just left and not reported it., but I digress.

My lawyer (provided by my employer) said I should pay the fine and move on. I could have appealed it, but in the moment I just wanted to move on so I did.

Then, in October 2014 I was driving to my route. 7am, moderate traffic on interstate 70, when an accident happened a few are away from me. Traffic came to a halt in a matter of seconds and I was unable to stop my several ton truck in time. I ended up rear-ending the vehicle in front of me. No one was injured, but I received a ticket for following too closely.

Fast forward to TODAY, it's been almost two years since all these incidents and I am trying to find an OTR job, however, I don't know if any companies will even look at my application yet. I did get a call from one company saying I needed to go to CDL driving school, however I already have my CDL License.

Here are some questions:

Is there a company out there that would hire me now?

Do I need to go to driving school? Would that improve my chances of getting hired since I never went to one?

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
