Profile For Alan T.

Thank you David. Swift declined me. I've spoken briefly with two other recruiters without filling out applications and heard essentially the same. I decline to share which at this point (you'll understand why I'm sure). Hopefully we'll get some specific alternatives in this forum. Thank you.

I am a 13 year veteran of the U.S. Navy. I have a Bachelor's degree in Finance & Banking, and 15 years accounting industry experience. I was divorced in 2001 and (as a single father) moved to a small mountain (Historical monument) town near San Diego, CA. I chose to exchange a large income for the blessing of being there 24/7 to properly raise my two children. I had sufficient funds to supplement choosing flexible "Handyman" employment opportunities Not on anyone's "Payroll." Consequently, I am now faced with possessing no "Verifiable" employment history as required by the larger companies with CDL schools. My children are grown now, and I lack adequate savings to pursue other paths to entry into the trucking industry other than via a company school repaid by future employment with that company.

Has anyone overcome this particular hurdle? I would appreciate any viable solutions as I am very committed to my goal of entering this industry. Thank you.
