For those who do not know my story:
Finally passed the CDL road test after 3 attempts (parallel parking wasn't so good).
Failed Orientation road test at both Roehl and Covenant. Covenant told me that is I can do a 40 hour refresher, I can come back. If within 30 days, I can skip orientation.
I was trained on an automatic with 6 one hour shifting classes.
I have been turned down by: Werner, Stevens, USXpress, Swift, TransAm, and CRST. ARG (fuel tankers) did offer me a 'pre-hire,' but my shifting is too rough for fuel right now.
And now, I wait. The director of the school said I needed to come in so that we could 'talk.' I called Friday at 10am, no return phone call. I called today at 9:30am (email sent to him by secretary as he is in a conference meeting) still no response. I would bug him more, but with the holidays coming, I doubt much will happen this week anyway.
Fortunately, there's no money on the table. The load company the school uses will not give the school anything until I pass my road test AND work 30 days for a carrier that re-imburses tuition. So technically I haven't paid anything. I have been out of work for 1 year and 2 days, so I need to get something moving soon.
At this point I am not sure what to do. I assume I won't be able to do anything, but 'side-work' until next year. Anyway, thanks for reading.![]()
Waiting to hear back from my CDL school

Screw the holiday,
I'd be darkening his doorway !!!!! -
You will its all about how hard your willing to work and how bad you want it. Like 123456 said Stand at his door and get your answer.

USXpress said no because of a car accident. The lady's battery burst causing a fire.
123456 the reason I'm not darkening his door is that no trucking company is going to give me an answer this week anyway, so I have time. -
