You probably should have done your homework before you went to truck driving school. Going to have to find a company that is willing to get you trained properly. I went to truck driving school to and I'm telling you all they do is get you to pass the CDL. If you go with a fly-by-night company you're not going to last because you'll have an accident and then no one will hire you. I'm still pretty new to the game so hopefully some of the others on here can give you some ideas.

There may be a company out there that will hire you, but you will be in for a lengthy search. Looks like your “young and dumb days” are still happening. Several convictions are less than six months ago. Good luck finding a job in transportation.

I counted 15 "bumps and bruises that you listed. A "couple" usually refers to TWO. I think the Driving School you attended took you for a ride. Did you disclose this information to them before handing over your hard cold cash. With a list like that I can't imagine who would hire you on. There are some 2nd chance and even Last chance Companies. Not aware of any 15th Chance Companies. Good luck

With this history, what will be different now? We all make mistakes, some more than others. But seriously, what positives do you have to offer ANY prospective employer?

If you've turned yourself around, I suggest you get with your close support group to work on a positive plan for your future. It may require years of menial jobs and volunteer work.

Unfortunately, I think you will have a extremely if not impossible time finding work with a list like that. I am afraid you probably wanted what ever money you paid the school, you will probably have to hold a steady job and keep out of trouble both criminally and driving wise for at least 5 years to realistically have a shot. By that time your CDL will be stale and you will have to go through school all over again

Right now I would try CR England and Carolina Cargo they are probably your best bet, but do not get your hope up.

I really thought this was a joke, and Im not trying to be mean.

Really think about this. You have:

Multiple drug possession (a huge no no in trucking).

DUI , reckless driving (more no nos)

Attempted stolen property possession (we drive freight aka valuable property you could steal)

Prison contraband (you wont follow law or company policy)

Multiple driving without authorization/license (more no nos)

Multiple suspensions (Failure to protect you license which is trucking's lifeline)

There is no way possible in my mind you will get hired by a decent company. I could be wrong and would love for you to let us know if you do find a job. But even if you do get hired, the pay will be very low to offset the high probabliity the company would pay out accidents.

All of this amounts to a total lack of responsibility. Any ONE of these things would have been an issue at many companies. Put then all together with no real sign of change????

In addition, IF someone is willing to hire you, you will probably have to go through a SAP program.

good luck

I had to check the GPS tracker to make sure he wasn't from Boise, ID.
