Default Need Help!!!

I went to truck driving school for three weeks and on the road with a mentor for six weeks after that I drove solo for two weeks and had three incidents, I was discharge. I would like to know what can I do to drive again? I really like driving.

You've pretty much proven that your desire is stronger than your skills. Lot's of people want to do this job (well lots of people think that they want to do this. There are some people who are just not cut out for this and sooner (in your case) or later, they end up proving it. There really are not too many companies that CAN hire you. You need to seek out some really small companies and look there. You may have to go haul some beer or softdrinks for a while. You have a big problem because you really do not have ANY experience. You also need to evaluate your driving on a personal level and figure out what caused you to get these incidents in such a short period of time.

I'd say "Waffle House" is in your future.

Have you considered working at a distribution center and learning how to drive a forklift? Get a DAC/USIS copy, contact small companies, look to get refresher driver training concentrating on correcting your skill deficiencies and starting over. BOL

Just wondering how serious are these incidents? That means alot for hiring purposes. It really isn't up to companies anymore to hire you... It is the insurance companies if they won't cover you then no job... BOL

You'll make more working at McDonalds than in trucking.
Of course that requires actual.....work.
