Thanks OrangeTexasGuy but one of the requirements for C.R. England is that you dont have any felony convictions in the last 10yrs...most companies that I looked at have that restriction....If anyone knows any company that gives drivers a chance please let me know...Or am I just wasting my time....Do I have a dead CDL?

How many years has it been since your charges? Your SCHOOL (especially since it was a county Vo-Tech) should have "hipped you" to that facts that (a) newbie hires are tough to come by out of florida and (b) recent felony convictions make an "almost impossible" hire, even closer to impossible. My instructor went over EVERYONES MVR the first day - and asked (in private) about criminal convictions. Folks with "questionable" issues were TOLD UP FRONT that they were going to have a DIFFICULT if not IMPOSSIBLE time getting a hire.

INSURANCE AND LOCATION are the primary reasons for newbie hire difficulties - BAD DRIVING RECORDS AND RECENT CONVICTIONS almost PRECLUDE a newbies ability to get a hire AT ALL. Your instructor should have discussed this REALITY with you - if he DID and you ALREADY KNEW THIS - then whining about a "dead CDL" is really MOOT as it's yer own fault for getting it NOW, instead of WAITING UNTIL YOU WERE HIRE-ABLE...

My conviction is two years old. And, yes, my instructor did "hip" me to the fact that it would be very difficult to find employment. However, I'm not whining (because men don't whine). I'm only trying to find someone who would give me a chance and I'm using any and every medium that I can find to do so until that chance comes along. If anyone can help me let me know. And I'm willing to take a pay cut to gain experience. I'm serious about this. I'm also willing to travel anywhere on the east coast. Thank you

I stay out of there as much as I can.
I've never liked Burger King, but the only thing that's half-way good at McDonalds, is their fries. I bet there aint an ounce of beef on McDonalds' burgers. :lol: I don't know why anyone would want to eat a cheeseburger that looks like it's been run over, and covered with mustard and ketchup, and a dozen pickles on it. uke:

Then there's also the chance that someone will put something into the food out of anger.
The way they're slave-driven over there, I never see anyone happy when I walk in to any of those places.
I stick to In'N'Out, Del Taco, and Jack In The Box, they either get paid very well, or management is less demonic on their employees.
