Flatbed or Tanker training companies?

Hello All!

I've been lurking on these forums for ages. I am hoping to get some advice.

I was in the IT world until about 2 years ago. I know Prime is picky on job history, and I am looking for a CDL training program.

I worked from 12/12 to 10/14 at one employer. Then 10/14 to 2/17 at another. I then took about a year off work. In this time I sold my house, and prepared for a career change. I've then worked a local box truck driving gig from 3/18 to current.

Is this gap going to be a reason I am turned away from Prime?

I will be relocating to Greer, SC from Denver, CO in November of this year if anyone has any other suggestions for a company provided CDL training program.

Thanks!

 

Thanks @Chinatown

Should I consider these as alternatives, or do you feel my chances at Prime are slim? I can provide documentation on the sale of my house in 6/17 but beyond that and a statement from my fiancee I have no documentation on my year I was unemployed.

 

I'd also like to mention I'd like to be in flatbed or tanker training. I'd like to eventually end up doing oversize/overweight loads, or cryo/fuel once I have the experience necessary.

 

@Chinatown, Thanks again.

I see R.E. West has driver facing cameras. They also require misdemeanor charges to be over 10 years old. I am unfortunate in that my charge is more recent. I'd love their 7 axle RGN setup.

I also am concerned with hair follicle testing, to the point I may go pay to get my own done, as I live in a state where everyone from the gas station clerk to your barber is stoned. There appears to be controversy about second hand exposure, and with some of the places I deliver to on a daily basis being a part of that locally legalized industry, I would hate to ruin my chances of a decent future. I can pass any UA and have for a long time in life. I just wish hair testing guidelines would be finalized, and research concluded as to the effects of second hand exposure.
