    If stubbornness was what mattered we would all be millionaires. I hope you make it.

    Nobody will put you behind the wheel. Not even Western Express.

    You live up north somewhere that might be looking for snow plow drivers ? State and local towns and cities can’t find drivers …….pay is horrible and so are the hours but it’s something

    Something else to think about....

    You don't necessarily "give up"...by delaying your further CDL job search.

    Also: your CDL does not "go bad" or "stale"...if you don't use it right away.

    I waited about 2 years after I got a CDL...to get a related job. So it is indeed doable.

    The cold, hard truth is that the work for new CDL grads just isn't out there now....like it has been before.

    It will come back.

    The real question is: how soon (or when)?

    That's understandable but you have to see it from a stranger's side too. You claim you want another chance but you have a proven track record of chances that were thrown in the trash. Not many will be willing to roll the dice with such bad odds showing you'll most likely burn them somehow.

    You also haven't mentioned what all those felonies are for either. I guess that's another can of worms. Since you didn't offer I won't ask but I'm assuming they are pretty bad.

    Hopefully you can climb out of this hole for good this time without relapsing. Good luck.
