Question regarding employment history
Thanks for your help IDMtnGal. I will apply to all the companies that have paid CDL training and that hire from California. I would like to drive either dry or refrigerated. Have a good day!

Question regarding employment history
First off, thank you for all the great information on this site and the High Road Training. I have read tons here and completed the HRT, except for the NY state coil endorsement.
My concern is that for 10+ years I was a stay at home husband and 2 1/2 years ago went through a rough divorce. I have been trying to restart my life and get back into the workforce. It has not been easy because of my lack of current skills. In the last couple of years I have had a few shot lived low paying jobs, started school for Radiology Technician, school closed after 6 months (Brightwood College). I really want to become a truck driver, even after reading all the pros and cons the life style really appeals to me. I have no children or family that is depending on me. My resume is this:
Real Estate Agent from July 2015 - March 2017 This ended with the divorce because of financial problems. March 2017 - August 2017 Moved to Atlanta (I am from CA) to help take of my friends mother who was in hospice. Inventory Specialist Sept 2017 - Sept 2018. When I started school for RT I couldn’t work full time and my boss fired me Six Flags ticket taker Sept 2018 - April 2019 This was a dead end job and after the school closed I started looking for something else. May 2019 - July 2019 Applied for many jobs. No takers. August 2019 - present working, under the table, painting houses Nov 2019 - Dec 2019 worked for Lowe’s while painting was slow
This year California passed a law that changes the rules for private contractors and my boss told me I can’t paint for him anymore.
Before I start applying for paid CDL training I would like to here some of your opinions about the likelihood of getting hired or if getting my CDL through a private school might be a better route.
Thanks
