    Do you plan to work for a company that pulls doubles, right out of cdl school? If so, as posted,you won't be sleeping at truck stops; probably at a bunkhouse or motel at a terminal.
    What's your plan right now? What type of trucking do you want?

    Where do you live in East Tennessee? The reason I'm asking is Dynamic Transit hires if you live west of Knoxville. It's a coast to coast refrigerated outfit.

    I know the feeling; I'm from Robertson County near Nashville and love the long haul trucking.

    What are the details on the tickets? How old are the tickets and how much over the speed limit?

    Schneider is pretty strict, so if they approved you, the July ticket must not have been too bad.
    Do some more online applications before any phone calls, then wait a couple of days and call and say, "I'm checking on my job application."
    What is your age and I'll give you some more companies that might approve you.

    From my understanding; all that will be put on your cdl.
    TWIC and Passport are seperate though.
