You think?

Good luck buddy.

[Useless]

i think im screwed lol

Then you're probably right. I know it can be hard, but try being a little positive - it'll make a difference if you go in filling out an application with a better attitude.

Good Point, Storm!!

Russwasherejr:

"Storm" is absolutely, 110% correct!! Think POSITIVE!!

Start telling yourself: "I'm POSITIVE that I'm screwed"!!

hate to say it but your pretty much done i have a nephew that is having a hard time finding a company to take him and he has no tickets he just dont stay put long enough some of it is laget but some not and now he is finding it very hard to get on no one calls him he falls into the job jumper deal . he was with the same company 3 times from 2005 to 2008 frist time he left was laget his dad passed he let them know no problem he was only there 6 mnths he took local job then went back in end of 2006 4 mnths later his mom passed agian home went back to same local deal now in dec 2007 he returned to them again drives till 3 2008 decided he wants more home time and gives notice no problem he thinks but guess what he cant even get anyone to call him why cause he didnt stay and well the frist 2 times were for deaths he should have took time off not left he has 1 year with no accidents and no tickets but his job history looks bad and well death is a hard thing most companys looking at him see he has moved around not why if he cant get one to look at him i would say your in the same boat however i do understand what you want we all need to work to feed our familys good luck and if you find one let us know who it may help otheirs.

well they have never called.

and july 5th my record will be clean and all i will have is a suspension.
that will be clear, other then that im pretty much screwed



I dont know who to go to when my record is clean. i was thinking swift but who knows..

we'll see what happens


any recommendations for a new comer? (somebody that will take me and train me)

[Double R]

Try Schnider(if you havn't already) and see if they have any openings in the Walmart Grocery fleet in Wintersville,OH. Close to home and they train and re-train. Also, have you tried the numorous flatbed companies in the area? Both big and small.

[russwasherejr]

no the flatbed places wont train me i need a place that is going to take me under there wing for a few weeks

Schnider,Swift,CR England,Werner

Sorry to say but you are now right back were you started from. Since you have not driven in over a year, most companies will treat you as a new driver that just got their CDL. The four above might give you a chance but you will start out at step one.

[homer]

my driving record is messed up too i have a suspension, careless driving, and failure to stop at stop sign
then i have an accident in july 05 and july 04

i know you can use a 3 year dmv record on a resume but i liked to get a 7 year print out and watch those overweight tickets drop off evry year. now i got my first speeding ticket in 20 years in my camaro
we had a guy that went off the road into the trees and he said he loved the gig. he got hired back after a couple years of showing up once or twice every week.
maybe in your situation keep bugging the man that fired you

Try LCT, Only Thing is getting you home might be tricky but im sure they'll tell you what you want to hear. GL
