New driver, denied great local job because of background check.

So do you already have some sort of trucking job ? Or just a cdl and no job ? Either way you will probably have to sit tight for a few years the potential liability will scare.off most companies for a while anyways . I would keep my partying to a minimum the nature of this job means I can only have a beer mostly when I am on vacation and don't have to wory about driveing anything with wheels its the nature of the beast .

 

robz78, just keep looking. There are plenty of companies out here that are just looking for someone to do the job and be dependable and safe, regardless of your minor record. If there any companies near you, go there, meet with them in person and sell yourself and your desire to work. The worst thing that they can say is "we can't help you". So, you try again until you find one. Happy hunting!

 

This attitude is why you won't make it in the industry. If you're lucky enough to get hired by a company, it's gonna be a shady outfit and I can picture you quitting or getting into an argument with your DM. Then ranting about how you were the victim on this and other forums. There are hundreds of thousands of drivers out there who don't have anything on their records, and this is who you're competing against. You obviously have anger problems that you need to work out.

 

There are companies that will hire you.
You have to have a positive attitude about the whole process.

It might be a company that others around here would say is beneath them, shady or what ever. So what !

Go get the job, make some money. Keep YOUR stuff as clean as you can.

 

Temper, temper now... remember, it was your lack of self control that got you into this mess in the first place.

 

Kinda shows a temper on an Internet forum too. Who knows what will happen when a 4 wheeler cuts him off. Gonna get angry and get revenge?
