Why can't I get hired?? I have a CDL and no points what gives?

He probably won't want a fringe company if he was bumping heads about running legal. I would suggest a certain paperless logs carrier and all the riches that accompany running legal.

 

I'd be knocking on all the doors of the small companies in the area. They're way more likely to care about your B class experience than the mega companies that are run by their insurance co's.

In my experience the small companies where the owner is still the boss are much more reasonable about that sort of thing.

 

With the flood of drivers with good records the companies are going to take them first. All they look at is you've got a year of experience and three jobs. They won't take the time to know why they will just move on to someone that looks better on paper.

I think what you did was very honorable and it shows a good character. But these bigger companies only look at the bottom line and that's why they have such a high turnover rate. They're too stupid to realize that a better driver will be cheaper in the long run because they will not be fixing the trucks at the rate they are now. You don't need them. Go out and find a company that will sit you down and ask why you left. Those are the companies that have the smarts.

 

What he said. I wouldn't run with the bigger company's. Your going to be right back where you started with crap pay and then some stress of being crapped on sprinkled on top of it if you go with a bigger company.

 

Lots of companies won't hire you if you haven't been behind the wheel for a while. Some companies won't hire you if you haven't driven truck for as little as 6 months. My suggestion for you if you don't want to spend the money to do a refresher course is to get on with a local harvest company or any local type job that requires you to drive full size semi's (Class 8 trucks) and not small class b trucks. Drive with them for a short time, just long enough until you can get an OTR job.
