At the end of my ropes, need some help
OK, I seem to be in a pretty big situation and every time I think I can get myself out, it hasn't been the case. Now its been 8 months and feel that I am screwed as hell. Here is the situation.
I got my CDL A with all endorsements from a technical college and shipped off to Werner for 8 months. There I got no tickets or accidents. I left when an app I put in for a local daycab job was hiring and got hired there. After 4 months I got layed off on 1/1/09 (figures). So I have 12 months of driving experience, only 8 are OTR, and I have not been able to get a single job.
Im 23 yrs old, no accidents, 1 speeding ticket in personal vehicle 2 yrs ago (before CDL). No criminal record, and live in Central Maine.
I have sent out literally 100 apps from everything from tow truck driver to OTR driver and between my age, experience, and location I have remained unemployed for 8 months. Think its worth giving up driving as a career? I am too poor to try and move south. Any tips or ideas I could do?
