Need a little advice

I got my class a cdl 2 years ago. The first company that I went with I failed out of their training portion because my instructor would not let me back the truck up. After that I couldn't find another trucking company to hire me so I had to get a normal job. I'm trying to get into trucking again but I'm running into problems. Either the companies want at least 6 months experience, want me to take a refresher course (which I can't afford to pay for nor can I afford to be without a job because if I take a week off I'll get fired from my current job), the companies that I have found in my area that offer refresher courses say that I need 6 months experiance to even take their course. All of the companies that say that say that they hire drivers with no experiance, keep telling me that I need 6 months experiance because I've been out of school for too long. That they only hire "no experiance" drivers if they are fresh out of school. Any advice? This is starting to feel like a "you need a car to get a job, but you need a job so you can get a car" situation.

 

I've tried at least 20 different companies and one that sends your app to a lot of companies. Is there some sort of finical aid that can help pay for a refresher class? I've looked but I couldn't find anything. There are tons of sites that help pay for cdl school but I didn't see any that help pay for a refresher

 

I am being honest about why it didn't work out the first time around. The 2 weeks that I was training, my instructor didn't let me back the truck up once

 

Thanks Jim, I'll give them a call

 

Yes and they said to take it up with my instructor. Which I did and he kept blowing me off. I passed everything except the 90 degree backing
