    In a world of instant gratification, waiting 4 days for a response is excruciating.

    So looks like my largest obstacle is that I have to not have made over 20k in the last 6 months (including my SSI) so the state wants me to be poor and under poverty to pay for my cdl training and testing. I already make 10k before I got laid off in the 1qharter alone. So it’s not looking good for the home team unless I just not work at all for another 3 months. (At which time I’ll be so under water and behind on literally everything it’s not an option)

    I’m strongly considering going the mega carrier route to get my cdl back as the faster way to my goal.

    at this rate I’m entertaining getting back into a lease truck .
     
    Knucklehead and 88 Alpha Thank this.

    Well I don't think you can go back to your old company. Think they went under or very close to it
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    They had a management change after I left and it went downhill from there. Not sure if they’ll close but I know they got rid of all the LP and OOs

    The FB page stopped being active in January. So that is a sign

    Turns out I’m an experienced drive according to mega carrier I spoke to, they’d consider reimbursing my trucking school tuition over time…
    This is a bigger headache than I anticipated
     
    88 Alpha Thanks this.
