I have some questions
Ok, first off, I haven't been here in a while, so I don't know what's changed lately.
1. I have my CDL, but I got it in 2005. I had a DUI in 2001 that kept me from getting a driving job then. In anyones opinion, will this be a problem now? I haven't had ay marks since then either.
2. Since I couldn't get a job right out of driving school, what would most companies offer as a refresher? Or would I have to shell out another 3-6K and take a CDL training course again?
3. Is it still typically 6 months to a year before most companies will let a driver "pick" a local or dedicated route?
I am in a pickle because the shop I work for may have to shut it's doors by next month, and I want to get something lined up if/when that happens. And about the only way my wife will go for this is if I can eventually be home every night. And I agree with her, but I am willing to do what I need to to get on a local run. As long as it's not food service lol. A driving job isn't my only option, but it's the most attractive at the moment. Plus, I would need the home time to be with my wife and son.
Any ideas, thoughts, etc., let me know. I'll have more later, I'm sure lol.
