    One trick I sometimes suggest is getting a tax transcript from the IRS, if you've ever worked. You just tell them this is a direct report from the IRS with wage information. They probably won't know how to read it, and it'll look official enough for most people.

    Get Transcript | Internal Revenue Service

    US Xpress will work with you. They have you sign a form stating you were self employed. Not an issue at most companies.

    Pretty good starting point for newbies. kinda low starting cpm pay but are a big company. decent hometime, benefits, etc. If you talk with a recruiter make sure to ask if you get an assigned truck to take home. Otherwise getting home is on you.

    Hi. When I came back to Driving after 11 years, I simply wrote I'd been ( was ) retired. I had no problems. I wanted , not needed, to come back as I was bored outta my gord.

    So do they check your whole 10 year work history or just jobs you used your CDL?? Or is it just the past 3 years they check on?? I am confused..

    They have to account for what you have been doing for 10 years. If unemployed, just put that down

    I worked for a company in 2011 driving. But have been working a reg non driving jobs since. Would they be able to get my records from 2011 driving job is my question. The past 3 years is a restaurant job so that fine. Would that even pull up on a dac being that long ago?
