did you ever think about pam or drivers solutions, i know they suck but they are better than CRE

 

Go into one of those Workforce offices and they will pay for your CDL.

 

No, because most insurance companies and trucking companies are looking at criminal and accident records first and foremost. Nothing to rephrase.

 

Most people have a beef with the lease trucks of England and they try to push it hard. I started off with CR and made money as a company driver. My beef was no poor training, but upkeep of the trucks, and home time. Had a Water Leak going to the heater for the sleeper, and from the anti freeze made me sick and their response was keep on driving. Then I put in for home time 5 weeks in advance, still did not want to send me, so when I did get home I empty the truck and took it to their school.

 

check your dac and make sure they didnt accuse you of abandoning the truck

 

without a doubt they did.

 

Well, I'm here at the school. I will say this though, if your credit is decent, and / or you have a clean history, you'd be a fool to come here. You don't have to be psychic or even very smart to pickup on the fact that something is way, way wrong...

I do wonder if this was a larger mistake than I figured...I'll let you know.

 

Well, some people here won't like some of the advise I'll give. But here goes.

The DUI is the "kiss of death" for you- but, good news -10 year Federal statute of limitations will apply..just stay clean for 3 more years and YOU won't have to mention it ever again.
Those "misdemeanors"--if they're just state/local "misdemeanors" aren't even a problem----unless you're Dumb enough to "report" them when you apply. Now, if they are Felony Misdemeanors....that's a different story.
Check the application for the key words.....Felony?

Living in FL will be a problem with ever finding a high cent per mile Driving Job.

As for driving legal.....in your case.....at .26cpm you better just drive SAFE...say "Yes Sir" to your dispatcher and MAKE THE COMIC BOOK LOOK GOOD.....and what-ever you do- Don't get CAUGHT running illegal--CR England will look the other way UP TO the point where YOU get them in trouble. This means several things...you need to learn HOW to work a Log Book. And you better hope that starting next year- DOT don't get the
OK to plug in to the Truck OBRD.

Also, as JB proved long ago...it's not how much you make---it's how much you SAVE.
As soon as possible, you need to invest in a Electric Cooler, if you drink coffee- a coffee maker in the truck....even some Truckstops have stopped giving free coffee. Buy your soda- at Wal-mart, your coffee by the pound.
You got to get your living expenses out here on the road...down.

Only go into the YARD when you HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.....it's the biggest TIME waster working for any company. You Can't make money- with the shop taking all day to do a 30min oil change. Or if you get "roped" into running down and doing a "random drug screen" or setting through a boring Safety meeting. Or, setting around "bitching/crying' with
other CR England drivers about everything.
