How old are you? The recent suspension is definitely not helping you, but your age could be a huge factor.

talk to your school, they may/should have placement assistance.

Well I just turned 38 in December,what I'm to old?

You're 38 y/o, you've had a suspension in the last 3 years and you want an employer to trust you with $150K in equipment plus their customer's valuable cargo that could go upto $500K. You're 38 not 18 and maybe it's time that you acted your age and were more responsable. |
[QUOTE=mgfg;522883]No, the age isn't a problem BUT your driving history sure is.

List the good features you can bring to their company. Tell them you are willing to go on a 6 month probation period. Tell them you will come in and practice pre-tripping every truck in their fleet, tell them you will be the first to arrive and the last to leave, tell them you will ride with them 30 days for free, tell them what ever you have to, THEN BACK IT UP WITH ACTIONS! Honesty goes a long way in this day and time. I wish you well. Good Luck! :) |

"I didn't even START truckin' till I was 48! [Spits 'bacca on the head of a stray dog with a baby tied around its neck...] :cool: You wouldn't WANT to know what all was on MY record! ... but, I had no "active" suspensions or stuff. I guess we're just gonna HAVE to get some specifics on that "suspension." You said [no] DUI's or felonies. Well... good! This could be a LOT cheaper than I thought." LOL! Seriously.... I don't see a MAJOR problem (depending on the specifics of that suspension.) and I'm pretty sure we can come up with some advice here on CAD (if we all take a step down from our pedestals.) Malakai (I believe) was thinking maybe you were too young. We get lots of 20 somethings wanting to run from the law or whatever by going trucking... with a really BAD "mvr." Repete, (I'm sure) was pretty right on with advice/question. Can you go back to the school for placement assistance? I know they told ME I could when I paid the money. [Well.... actually all of my conservative friends paid for it cuz I got Gubm't assistance for being a VET.] MFG will have to speak for himself. Really.... stick around, please. Tell us more, so we can help you more. [But notice one of my siglines.] ;) Hobo |

That "local" company that might talk to you, might well ask you if you will go TEAM.... cuz, the MONEY is in runs to the West Coast. And the produce "backhaul" that pays as much or MORE. If you can't make that decision right then, well... at least tell them you will put it at the TOP of your list (and talk to your wife or something about it.) Welcome to CAD, NAIM215... now... explain your username before I go NUTS trying to figure it out! :confused: [yes... I know this is DANA's post.] Hobo |
