    I think its a "you" thing. No one else seems to be having issues. Have a friend who got his CDL a couple days ago and got hired in at swift as a new driver. @Chinatown has recomended many other companys plus your drug test comment a while back may have gotten you blackballed.

    Let’s say you own a company and freight is slowing down, would you rather hire an experienced driver that has something to offer or would you take a chance on a new driver? Lots of places are hiring if someone has the right qualifications and experience.

    They are still hiring . Just not as many as before and so they can be more selective about who they hire .

    I know of a small company that hires new inexperienced drivers and puts them through a 9 month training program at half driver pay .

    but they are very selective and require a clean driving record , clean credit record , and a clean criminal record .

    of the drivers graduating from the local community college, only about 5 out of a hundred students are even eligible to apply because of their criminal or credit or driving background.
