So...I started my journey 10/06 graduating a cdl training program. I was hired right out of school by a smallish company doing NE regional work. I worked there until 4/08 when I had to leave for medical reasons. During the time I was there I incurred 2 -5mph over posted speed tickets and two non-preventable accidents.
A month later I took a job as a tri-axle dump truck driver. I was recently layed off due to it being mostly seasonal work. I incurred another accident there as well. Mechanical failure(brake proportioning valve malfunction).
I've applied online at over 80 different companies in the last two weeks since I've been laid off. All have either turned down my application or offered me a 48 state position. No way in hell I'm running OTR with a family.
I'm starting to think I should start applying for yard jockey and forklift jobs at this point =[
