A lot of company sponsored training companies will probably give you a shot. Even though you have your cdl and whatever happened with the last place. They'll put you through their training program have you sign a year or so contract to drive for them. Might be a little lower pay than with experience but apply to 40-50 companies with online applications. Search for companies that do company sponsored training programs. It'll be alright, you didn't do anything that bad, that's what the learning process us all about. They should expect you do make a few mistakes, you're new. Sounds like they did you a favor...sounds like they suck.

Hello, I was recently hired after getting my class A CDL from a private school. I was let go after 1 week and a day of training. The company felt I was a liability and decided to let me go. I was having trouble with learning how to perform a 45 degree dock bump and almost got into an accident today with a disabled vehicle on a narrow bridge. Luckily, I stopped and did not hit it. I am so disappointed in myself. The trainer said I don’t listen and cannot straight back. I can straight back but hitting a dock is still new to me. Is there any hope? Did my trucking career just end before it even began? What do I tell future employers? I feel so defeated. I have very little experience and I have already been fired.

Thanks everyone, yeah safety will be most important! So far so good!

I just passed mine today with Millis transfer. 🥳 It is a good feeling!

I did it! Yesterday I passed my CDL test. All the training and advice (including from the veterans here!) have paid off. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had. I've never been close to behind the wheel of a tractor trailer in my life and yesterday I parallel parked it and drove it on the road, I don't want to say "like a pro," haha but safely, and with great skill and precision to be awarded a Class-A commercial driver's license. I'm so proud of this achievement and can't wait to explore the next step toward this new career. Thanks for your good vibes, thoughts, prayers, and advice along the way!

They have a great program and instructors. I start my 15,000 miles OTR with a trainer soon. 🇺🇲 😎👍 Beginning of a new adventure.

🤣 That's bad! Needs a breathalyzer quiz.

After a lot of research and looking at over 40 different companies. I was set on Millis Transfer. I'm a newbie, I don't have a perfect past. With a lot of prayers, I was accepted! I'm giving all the glory to God. Plus sites like this with all the helpful information helps a lot! That's the main reason for this post. If you're struggling or having a hard time deciding what you want to do. Just keep looking, researching and praying. Have a wonderful day everybody and happy holidays! 🎄🙏 😁👍
