Recent CDL Grad with 19mph over speeding ticket

HMMMmmm........nope.......

just keep trying. Conway was the BEST out of those that denied you a job....just keep trying.

 

what about swift? 19mph over is no laughing matter and alot of people and companies frown on things like that but there is someone out there that'll hire you. good luck

 

You've lucked out in the fact that those mega-carriers won't accept you. You have a much better chance at success in the trucking industry finding a smaller company or even an owner operator willing to take you on. Check out careersingear or bigrigjobs. These are pretty good sites. They have the companies requirements listed and what states they hire from. You may also want to comb through the OOIDA website. This is a really good website! Lots of good info and links to reputable companies. (not as good as the truckers forum though!) Keep in mind that the companies that are advertising as much means that their driver turnover rate is lower which in turn means that their drivers are happier there. Welcome to the forum and good luck to you!

 

You are welcome. Keep the questions coming.

 

Sometimes the companies listed requirements on a website are not the factual requirements that they accept. I have less citations than many of these companies have listed required (for example: "moving violations - no more than 2 in 3 years" or accidents - no more than 1-2 in 5 years, etc.) but when I call they still say "no, cannot take you." As some have told me here, the companies have too many drivers to choose from, so they don't have to go by their listed requirements. I agree, it is frustrating. I just hope I don't have any accidents, tickets, etc., this coming winter. I am being very conscientious of my driving now, making sure I make no mistakes that can get me a citation. I am hoping against hope Swift will take me after my 1 year "citation free anniversary from my last.
