so just wondering will it be hard to get in trucking with 2 wrecks in 3 yrs, 1 i believe was July 27,2021 and the other Jan 2022

Hello Robert, welcome to our forum!

You have to be honest. Just because you don't see those accidents on your MVR doesn't mean they won't find out about them. You never want them to discover you purposely withholding information.

They will be thorough. They look into other sources than just your MVR. If there was ever any sort of an insurance claim made on an accident by you or the other party, they will find it.

Self incriminating honesty can be a good thing in this business.

thanks Old school and yes I would be answering truthfully and yes there were insurance claims made even though my dates may not be exactly correct since hard to remember exact date .

I have question, So had a couple wrecks in last 2021 and 2022 but I got my MVR record from MS dept of public safety but it does not list any wrecks or tickets so I still have too tell them about the wrecks

I would like to know your youtube channel. Also I am thinking about applying with Prime I have actually done it once before just never did anything with it and other companies over the last few years Now i work for delivery service driving 16 ft box truck home every night. But only 3 of us including owner so As of this writing we have no part time person so that means I can't even take of work to take CLP or dot due to my late times getting back home.

So I guess I should wait on applying to Prime.. I have spoken with Angela at Prime.

Ask Prime about California hiring. Because of AB5, they were only hiring company drivers... which we recommend over 1099.... but over the summer, they stopped hiring from Cali all together. Prime will do this from time to time in order to not have too many drivers from one area. It makes it difficult to get people to and from home. So they freeze a state for a bit.

Get the idea out of your head that someone with a CDL can automatically find work. Not true. And companies won't just take anybody.

I have a youtube channel. Check it out. It has lots of info on my playlists "Considering CDL school?" And "rookie tips" even training videos with a student so you know what to expect.

I have been using Adobe Premier Pro with a Canon Rebel T7i. Be careful what you say if you go that route. Not all companies allow the social media content.

how you doing Mr Scot hope all is well with you

He posted in the general section about his quitting. I try to handle any CFI questions I can.

I plan to start CFI sponsored training the 2nd week of Jan.. I have informed my current boss and my recruiter actually told my boss the first time sept but I then changed plans the next day so I Then see she has my job posted on job board ha but I sent her text telling her I goin in Jan.

Hi Scott I plan on starting CFI training in Jan.

this is copied from post on another forum from someone who is Now attending CFI training thru Crowder, just thought I would let everyone know. Also I planning to start around 2nd week of January, my current boss didn't seem to happy that I would be quitting, I think cause she know she have to hire someone else.
