Default Roll overs

I have a roll over on my record from 2007 I am looking to get back into trucking. I honestly love being behind the wheel but I am unable to get that break to get back in. Does anyone know of a company that I could at least get a chance to prove myself once again.

most if not all companies will make you go to cdl school again because you have been off the road for so long.... but before you do that start checking around to find a company that will take you with a roll over

I dont mind taking a refresher course or even a complete schooling over again. The hard part is the tracking down of a company that will take me..lol I figured maybe Swift but they said no and now im trying us xpress..They said if its over 3 years old but I havent heard back either way yet..

Rollovers unless there are clear examples of the driver having ZERO cause of it, is one of the deadly sins in the industry. Rollovers usually mean that your career over as a driver. Rollovers are usually always preventable and results in the highest cost to the companies and the insurance carriers. Loss of load, tractor, trailer (injuries)and usually lots of costs for clean up. You may indeed find some outfit somewhere that could possibly hire you... but do not spend one cent on any school anywhere until you get bonafide job offers while talking to a HUMAN with a TITLE that works for a TRUCKING COMPANY..
