    Is the company that's going to interview you, one that was recommended to you in this thread?
    You don't have to name the company.
    Anyway, 6 mos. or so with any company will set you up for a good OTR job.
     
    Jess10k Thanks this.

    Lynden Transport might hire you after 6 months. They're hiring new cdl school grads.

    It was not, it was someone I just blindly applied to on Indeed or Zip recruiter or something, but they took me out on a road test, the guy said everything looked good, and I'm at my drug test now so it looks like I should be all set!

    The interview went well! I just gotta pee in a cup and they'll set me up for orientation!

    Edit: sorry I just realized both of these replies were to you LMAO

    but seriously, thanks for all the help yesterday, I was starting to spiral after the swift recruiter ghosted me and even just having someone trying to help out did a lot to keep me going. I've been looking for a job for about a month and was probably about to give up after yesterday, so thanks for helping me to keep going!

    Yeah, I was really worried my trucking career was going to be over before it really began, but I just kept telling myself if I got my foot in the door ANYWHERE that I could pick it back up and get back to the level I was (albeit somewhere that's much less of a cult than Walmart lol) and it looks like I've got that foot in! I'm not gonna let this second chance go to waste. This job has a lot of heavy haul, some curtain load, and some flatbed, so I'm gonna be needing a fair bit of training for all that and I plan on putting in 110% to make sure I succeed here
     
    Chinatown and Lonwolv54 Thank this.
