Get Hired
Sounds like you did not go to a drving school, you thought you could take a shortcut to get a CDL. Most entry level companies looking for new hires will accept school grads with a minimum of 160 hours training. It's mainly the company's insurers making that requirement. Have you applied to the entry level companies like Warner, Swift, etc. You apparently don't know that the requirement for new drivers is down due to the economy, many small and some big trucking companies have gone out of business, there's a glut of experienced drivers who you're in competition with for that entry level driving job. Have you considered going to the oil and gas fields in Wyoming and North Dakota to drive oil patch trucks or start with a menial job with an oil/gas services company and work your way up to driver? The upside is you still have a job. Count your blessings. BOL

what sealord said.

I'll third what Sealord said, but I also think that Biscuit gave good advice. I spent 3 months as a laborer with a moving company, and really, if you can find a below-bottom-of-shelf moving company, they would jump at the chance to get a CDL driver. I would say that would be a place to start, at least until either you get the time in the seat, and/or the economy improves.

Did your key stick or something? (MUST HAVE...TF FIXED IT) Does Louisiana have a special program for the number of times you can fail a driving test? 3 is usually the charm, before you are required to re-certify at your school. Quote:

Get 18-wheeler Experience
Orangetxguy,
I don't think Gulfinc went to a school. I think he shortcut the system, figuring he was smarter than the average Cajun, and now wonders why he can't get hired without documented training. It's happened before. BOL |
