As others have told me, just keep trying. You will hear a thousand "no's" but will eventually get that one "yes". Be proactive and keep your nose clean. No, I'm not a driver, yet but I still feel it's good advice.Deonte Thanks this.

Try Western Express, they take everyone, if they don’t take you, you’re not hirable in the industry. They have big terminal in Nashville.
bryan21384 and Deonte Thank this. -
thanks it’s just crazy that I read all the requirements an I’m basically accepted it just be some crazy thing a company would come up with and I just don’t understand
-
Yeah, Western Express in Nashville probably take you.Deonte Thanks this.
-
Yes I know about western express my recruiter there says to wait for the hard copy of my cdl to come in then call I understand that I won’t make tons of money by being a beginner it just makes me nervous about them because all the bad reports they have about payroll and things like that
-
Do you have a solid work history with no big gaps in employment?tscottme Thanks this.
-
No one would take me and I did 99 days at western express and now I work at a company that pays better, you have to get a job somewhere then it gets much easier. Don’t ask your recruiter any questions, it doesn’t matter what they say. They’re paid to tell you what you want to hear. Just make sure you last at least 6 months if you can.
-
I don’t want crappie company but to get experience I have no problem just sucks to have a cdl now an can’t use it
-
You would definitely make more money driving class B than at western express, but you won’t get experience as Class ADeonte Thanks this.
