Verifiable Experience

Basicly he has none.

 

You have a list of ALL the people you worked for in the last 10 years and write it on an application. Phone numbers are needed. You also need the dates and dates of any unemployment too. Sorry if this sounds a little snide but well that's what you have to do?

If you don't have the names addresses and phone information then you need to pull out your tax returns for the past 10 years as you will find most of the information on them also.

If not then good luck as the rules state last 10 years of employment unless you are under the age of 26 as you wouldn't have 10 years unless you did have a job at 16.

 

Yeah, but if he has no recent in the last 6 months it is the same as having none.

 

Most companies want recent experience. Something in the last 3-5 yrs. If he hasn't driven in the last 3-5 they will consider him a rookie/student.

 

When was the last time you checked on that?

 

About 2 months ago. They (big companies) want recent experience or they will send you with a trainer for a refresher.

 

now legally the best way to get you cdl is go take the written test and the driving test since he has already driven and has some experience that should not be a problem he does not have to go to a truck driving school.

however that alone will not get him a job. most company's want 3 years verifiable experience today. why? because their are to many drivers out of work wright now they can sit back and pick and choose not to mention insurance company involvement.

its amazing to me how all these nit picking rules disappear when the suddenly find their are no one to drive there truck, then there not so picky the cdl becomes just fine.

but in these times it continues to be a problem unless you go to work for an owner operator.

good luck to you . southernpride
