Want to Drive! Record holding me back...Possibly?

Start studying the CDL manual, do the tests on here(top of page), work toward your tanker/hazmat endorsements, TWIC. Contact schools about enrollment dates.

 

As long as the assault was a misdemeanor you are fine, they dont get concerned unless it is a felony. I beat up a cab driver and Ive had no problems getting jobs... And the cabbie had it coming...

 

What is your work history? If you have ANY gaps in your employment like being unemployed for ANY period of time you can forget about getting trained and hired by Prime like was mentioned as a company to look into. You can forget just about all the other companies too, if you don't have a perfect employment record, they won't train you. So if you for example just wanted to take a few months off from the workforce or for WHATEVER reason, if you don't have a perfect work record with no periods of being unemployed you can forget about getting a truck driving job. Don't waste the time and money of going to a school like Roadmaster or whatever either if you don't have a perfect, spotless employment history no company is going to hire you after you graduate and get your cdl anyway.

 

That's not entirely true. Swift will look at him. My buddy was unemployed for 7 months and all he had to do was have two people he knew sign a paper stating that he was unemployed for X amount of months and was seeking employment.

 

That's good to know.

 

Keep us updated.....also ....get all your endorsements and twic.....good luck

 

Cabbies never have it coming.......lol
