This is exactly the wrong time to lose one's license. It will be worthless until the market starts needing drivers so bad they can overlook that.
That said, what city are you in?Arctic_fox, Concorde and Thrasher28 Thank this. -
Do you only have a class B or class A as well? I know class B jobs tend to be a little more lenient, so you might not be doomed.
Maybe you'd have a little more luck with a non-CDL driving job? Such as delivering medical items, furniture delivery, etc. Not sure how strict insurance is for those kind of gigs, but I imagine the applicants would probably have a worse MVR on average compared to CDL required jobs.
FedEx contracts their route drivers -- maybe you could find someone needing a driver for a route that's willing to overlook it. Probably won't pay great though -
You know, I feel bad for many of these folks, probably good drivers, with a glitch that now, due to over regulation, are drummed out. Back when life was more civil, you could talk to an employer, who was probably a worse shyster, state your case, and if you didn't kill anyone, a job was waiting. Can't do that today, and sadly, regardless of what "they" tell you, that loss of CDL will be with you for life, thanks to this wonderful contraption I'm typing on now. Nobody could tell me otherwise. Your CDL days might be over, but you may be able to transport the elderly to their many appointments. Who cares who drives the elderly around?
Old_n_gray and Concorde Thank this. -
“Reckless driving is a criminal offense; the others are traffic infractions. Regardless, any two of these offenses (or a combination) within 3 years will result in a 60-day suspension of your CDL. Three offenses within 3 years is a basis for a 120-day suspension.”Bud A. Thanks this.
