    So I invested 6k into getting my CLD now I cant find work.I have applied to most of the big companies only went to one orientation with USX and they turn me down.I have got two accident in the last three years,of which only one is on my MVR,not bad for a NYC cab driver :biggrin_25523:.My license was also suspended two times within the last three years never for a moving violation also one moving violation which will be off in a couple of months.

    Look into some of the smaller mom and pop companies. Invest $10 in getting your own mvr and dac report. These trucking schools are trying to get your money and don't always let you know that you are screwed once you graduate because no one will hire someone with a bad record. Especially now! There are too many people looking for jobs. Just wait until all the gulf coast fisherman become truck drivers next month.

    which one? a start is definitely better than not starting at all.
