Recent Graduates

What is the definition of "Recent Graduate"? Is this a person who recently graduated from a CDL School. Is someone who goes away from trucking for a long time and then attends a Refresher Course at a Truck Driving School a recent graduate? I am in such a situation. I have my CDL A, but I have only one month experience, because I had to break up my training due to a problem that I had at home and because of illness. I decided not to go back to trucking for a while, but right now I am ready to go back to trucking. If I attend a Refresher Course (40 hour driving/$1400 USD) at a Truck Driving School, will I be considered recent graduate?

Recent graduates are students that graduated trucking school within the last 3 - 6 months ya may have to take refresher course,talk to the recruiter of the company ur looking into before taking the course BC some will still classify ya as recent so why pay the cash if ya don't have to.

Good advice, Rebel. Many companies will send you thru their own short course, so that you will be up to date on what their company wants you to know. You will still have to go out will a trainer, but after that you will go solo. Pick your company wisely...and pick a company that you will be able to stand driving for a year. After the year, you should be able to pick where you want your true career to start..... So get out there and talk with recruiters. And understand that they will have different ideas on how you can get your driving career started.
