should i find another career

I blame myself...i really do.FIRST I did my schooling thru Swift and graduated,but thought if i went to CRST doing the teams i would make more money.I was there two month in 08 and got screw around.Then i quit but my dumb butt went back got with a good co-driver 4 1/2 months in 09, then things went wrong again...We did alot of sitting couldnt make enough to pay my own cell phone bill.And im i single dad .So i figure i would leave them alone for good and try other avenue in trucking,but no body will give me a chance ...i have all my endorsement except Passenger and i dont know what to do ive been off the truck 5 month now...i want to do flatbed or tanker but nobody will touch me.Can somebody point me in the right direction.And how long off the truck is it before u have to do the school over which i think i should maybe i can get that flatbed job i want...SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE

 

Check the port ????

 

You mentioned you have your endorsements but do you have flatbed or tanker experience? And just to be clear, you have 6 1/2 months driving experience? I see a few places hiring but seems to be at least 1 year experience...I will keep looking though...Good Luck!

 

check the port

 

no exp. in tanker or flatbed and most companies are saying since its not a straight 6 month they cant hire me

 

Whatever you do come up with, even if it is pumping out porta potties, for heaven sakes STICK WITH IT for at least a year. Get yourself some type of work stability built up.

Good luck on finding something.

 

Stop checking with the big, mega, DAC companies. ...

Check with Jose, at Jose Trucking over in Channelview,,,,,,,,,,

 

Rohel hires drivers with no experience...I don't see openings in TX, but if you can get on with them and get some more driving experience, they have a flatbed division in TX that you might be able to get transfered to once your proven yourself....You just need to get that 1 year under your belt and then you can be a little more choosy, if you know what I mean....Don't know if that helps at all, but don't give up yet!

 

thanks a mill
