Good Point, Storm!!

Russwasherejr:

"Storm" is absolutely, 110% correct!! Think POSITIVE!!

Start telling yourself: "I'm POSITIVE that I'm screwed"!!

well they have never called.

and july 5th my record will be clean and all i will have is a suspension.
that will be clear, other then that im pretty much screwed



I dont know who to go to when my record is clean. i was thinking swift but who knows..

we'll see what happens


any recommendations for a new comer? (somebody that will take me and train me)

[Double R]

Try Schnider(if you havn't already) and see if they have any openings in the Walmart Grocery fleet in Wintersville,OH. Close to home and they train and re-train. Also, have you tried the numorous flatbed companies in the area? Both big and small.

[russwasherejr]

no the flatbed places wont train me i need a place that is going to take me under there wing for a few weeks

Schnider,Swift,CR England,Werner

Sorry to say but you are now right back were you started from. Since you have not driven in over a year, most companies will treat you as a new driver that just got their CDL. The four above might give you a chance but you will start out at step one.

[homer]

my driving record is messed up too i have a suspension, careless driving, and failure to stop at stop sign
then i have an accident in july 05 and july 04

i know you can use a 3 year dmv record on a resume but i liked to get a 7 year print out and watch those overweight tickets drop off evry year. now i got my first speeding ticket in 20 years in my camaro
we had a guy that went off the road into the trees and he said he loved the gig. he got hired back after a couple years of showing up once or twice every week.
maybe in your situation keep bugging the man that fired you
