Kentucky: Considering Career Change and Getting My CDL

Whats your general location?

 

Now i dont have a clue what that dui is going to do, but your only option really for company paid training and home daily is an ltl company that has dock to cdl training.

Do you have old dominion, abf frieght, yrc, saia, new penn and any companies like them down there?

 

I wouldn't mention the anti-depressant; can you quit taking it for awhile; at least long enough so you don't have to list it on your DOT physical form?
Try Schneider; tell the recruiter you need cdl school and want to work out of the Walmart Distribution Warehouse in London,KY. You'll make good money and be home almost every day.

Sygma Network and McLane Foodservice hire drivers with only a cdl permit. You will team with an experienced driver delivering to fast food joints. They give you 90 days to qualify and acquire your cdl. This way you're home most days and are a full time paid employee. Can apply online for "Driver Associate" or "Driver Helper."
Easy to make $70K doing foodservice.

 

With any of the mega carriers england, swift, prime, etc.... you will be otr for a year minimum. After that year, you can go to greener pastures if you wish. But, like Chinatown said, food service companies. Specifically the ones he mentioned will train you.

To meet your hometime goals, your going to have to find a home daily company that trains. Anything else will be a week to weeks to months on the road before seeing home. Rinse and repeat.

Your medical and dui history i cant comment on, i have no knowledge to help you there.

 

Don’t volunteer any information during your medical DOT examination.

How long do dui stay on your record?

 

C.R. England is a long haul trucking company headquarters in SLC.

 

Schneider has lots of offerings for drivers that don't want OTR.

Some don't even need a cdl for straight truck jobs. Some straight truck jobs, no cdl, CDL-B, CDL-A, depending on the size of the straight truck.
The Walmart job, you'll need a CDL-A. Schneider will help you get a cdl school. If you go to school on your own, Schneider will reimburse the tuition up to $7000.00


All the above are Schneider trucks.
