Need some advice! So i am a recent CDL grad, got my Class A CDL about 2 weeks ago. I have a criminal background from 12 years ago. That along with me being a new driver has made finding employment virtually impossible. I knew it would not be easy but didn't expect this. So May Trucking is one of the many I applied to because I knew they worked with recent grads and people with a criminal background. After some phone tag I finally was able to talk with them last week. Went over my application. My MVR and employment history is great. Talked about my background and was told it shouldn't be an issue. She said they would do a background check. She uploaded my MVR and CDLIS to driver pulse but nothing about a background. She called 2 days ago and said my application was approved and to message her to get an orientation date. I messaged her and she sent back that my orientation is set for January 2025. 6 MONTHS FROM NOW. She said that is the earliest they have available due to so many applicants. Not sure what to think here. Anyone hear of anything like this. Just trying to figure out if it's a real offer.
