OK, Just over four years ago right out of school I was working for Werner Enterprise. after 8 months I left them to work with a owner operator thru Tri State. Before I got hired by Tri State I was let go, my drug test came back adulterated. The owner operator let me go and It went on my DAC report. I was told my truck driving career was done.
So I let my CDL go and have not been behind the wheel again.
First off. I was clean and always have been and I am sure you hear that all the time but I can pass any drug test and have passed everyone since then. Now four years later I really want to get back out on the road and start a truck driving career again.
I know I will have to go back to school but my question Is will any good company hire me? I have a clean MVR. Not so good work history but It looks alot better for the last four years.
No Criminal history and the last thing to go on my DAC that I know of was from Tri State. I will be getting a copy of my DAC but I don't know what to look for.
What can I do. What should I do?? I really want to drive a truck again any advice, help or point me In the right direction would be great..
I went to my local job center and applied for the WIA program (workforce investment act). I meet the requirements for the program and I am In contact with a Truck Driver Training School. Will take about 4 weeks.
Now the Next Question and I have seen It asked time and time again but I need some advice.
Which Company's should I apply for and will take a person with my History???
I have worked for Werner and do not want to go back but I am a newbie again so which company's treat there trainee drivers good and have good equipment and good pay??? I know no company Is perfect I just want to make some money. Be home on the weekend and have a good Truck to do It In..
And of course be treated like a person..
