I am new to this industry and screwed right off the bat. I was hired through PAM. They helped get me my cdl and was supposed to work for them for a year and gladley would have BUT after going through with the 4weeks otr with a trainer I freakin failed the road test and they sent me packin without a job. I guess I got a little to confident with my driving and felt like I got this far and I can't fail, but I did sadley. It kills me because I scored a perfect 100 through the dmv in Texas in order to get my cdl. But anyway this has seriously put me in a very bad situation. I did this to finally make a career and support my son now I can't even get a job. I've applied for swift, jb hunt, crst, schneider, and a few more local jobs and I keep getting the same response. First they ask me why I got my cdl in Texas when I live in jersey then I have to tell them the whole story ending with I failed the company road test. Then the conversation goes silent and they tell me they can't hire me. I need help in the worst way. I'm a good driver I swear lol. I just got a little to confident. This was for my son and now I'm screwed. I'm hoping some of you pros can help a rookie out and give me some advice PLEASE.....

What went down that you failed your test?
-
The instructor said I coasted through 3 stop signs and made an unsafe right hand turn at a red light. And I passed a pedestrian on a bike and had to go around him and I didn't use my blinker :/.. But in my defense the trainer that I was with for four weeks would have said go for it you got it lol. Plus i was driving a 10 speed ever since I started this whole thing and the truck I used for the test was an automatic. I know it sounds like an excuse but it was a pretty big change up for me
-
And thanks lady, ill definitly give that a try
-
So, I take it your trainer was relaxed with you and you expected the same from the instructor or you were nervous about the test.
-
why the CDL in tx and live in NJ? Huge red flag there....
-
-
It was a bit of both
-
But why would TX have allowed them to test without proof of residency?
