    Thank you for your help! Any advice as to what to say to them about the reckless? Should I be upfront or wait for them to ask like any other job?

    Go by what's asked on the application. Don't deny it if asked, it's no big deal.

    Capstone is hiring yard drivers here in Plover Wi , seems they are branching out from lumper services there is always Lazer Spot , maybe try some yard work to hone your skill , some of the 3pls don't require a CDL.
    Good Luck

    It’s crazy I have loaded so many KLLM’s as well. K&B too. I guess I’ll look for all the trucking companies I remember seeing daily and check also.

    Now that I know there is actually hope, would anyone suggest just getting the CDL first then going to a company refresher school to get the job? Is there an advantage? I do have the funds to do so and we have 3 really good schools here in the area. Does it give me more options if I just got the CDL and then went looking?

    And being a yard driver is a great idea too. That would get my backing skills together. I have to say, there is nothing worse on a busy day on the dock than having to wait for a driver to back in for 30 minutes LOL.

    Well, you can keep your money in the bank and attend a trucking company cdl school or attend a private cdl school and have more choices of companies to work for.

    The companies that have their own cdl schools also hire from private schools.
    If you want dry van, then go with USA Truck. Hires from cdl schools.
