I'm certainly no authority on the subject, just passing along what I heard.

Quick update, no luck yet. It seams most if not all trucking companies treat possesion of alcohol in a cmv (even when not ticketed or charged with any offence) the same as if it were a consumption charge or dui. Have been told this repeatedly recently. No record of dui, nothing on clearinghouse, no moving violations, 0 points, have not been in an accident ever. Having beer in the sidebox of a cmv on an inspection report is evidently enough to end ones career. Ive followed many of the leads suggested to me here and most have either ignored my calls or refused me outright. In any case thanks for all the input. My only avenues now are independant under my iwn authority, driving for an independant who doesnt mind my situation, or waiting for all of it to drop off my record completely ... /Sigh

Keep trying man. You will need to call a lot of companies. But all it takes is one sympathetic recruiter to listen to your story, put it together with your otherwise good record, and go to bat for you.

Space Truckin Thanks this. -
Looking on Craigslist, at least in my area (Tampa) recently, I saw quite a lot of nonsense jobs (1099, Chicagoland jobs (recruiting in FL, lol), lots of emoji characters in title, vague but too good to be true sounding promises, etc., lol) but also a couple really good ones. For example, a couple really decent paying dedicated accounts. From known, national companies. I did not qualify because I have a 'DOT preventable' on my record, but my takeaway was that there can definitely be good jobs on Craigslist.
I'm not on Facebook, and I won't go on there. But my buddy says it's easier to sell things on there. So I had the ol lady use her account to post a car tow dolly for sale. We sold it pretty much right away for the asking price. I have used Craigslist a lot over the years but it's gone downhill a lot I am afraid to say. Lots of scammers and spammers. Be careful with your real phone number, email, etc. I hate to say it but that's been my experience lately at least in this area. So I guess I am saying, if you are OK with it, maybe try Facebook too, even though I hate them and will never go on there myself personally.
Good luck, let us know what you find. -
