Having trouble finding a truck driving job
I use to drive OTR, have a class A cdl, current DOT card, no points on license, no accidents ever. I have a perfect driving record, my problem is I havent driven tractor/trailor since 2000. I know i can operate the truck, may need to learn the new changes in the industry, and I am willing to learn.My credit score is low so i cant get into a school to get upgraded, I've tried. My work history is could also, but no-one wants to take a chance on someone in my situation. I have drove dump trucks at my place of employment now, which is in the construction field, pulling a loaded trailor of steel pipe. I really miss driving a truck OTR, and so want to return to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you

The answers are there, But I do not know where. Optimistic and hopeful dreams, Are all I have so it seems. The future I do not know, So all I can do is take it slow. But I do know it will work out, So I wait and watch without a doubt.

Just like matcat said, I'd go with a smaller company. It might not be what you want, but it will give you experience.
