Why would any company take on the risk?
You show a lengthy list of extremely poor decisions.
Maybe get your act together for about five to ten years and you will stand a chance.
So my license has been suspended 3 times in the last 5 years. ( I know it’s not looking good already). The first suspension was for a DUI over 5 years ago, the other 2 suspensions were for misdemeanor marijuana possession (the first Marijuana charge was four years ago and the second charge was a year and a half ago) I was able to get the DUI and the first marijuana charge non adjudicated which means they aren’t on my record and my license has been in good standing for nearly a year and I’ve never received any traffic tickets. I’m wonder what my changes are of being hired by a company after school ?
Zack I deleted your response. The truth is that many trucking companies who train are self insured and expect a 1 year commitment. They also expect 3 full years of a clean record. Zip. NADA. The lower paying companies may accept a couple indiscretions but protecting your license is one of the most important attributes companies respect. If you protect your interests you will protect theirs. If you dont protect yourself you wont protect theirs This job IS all about judgment and how not to kill anyone. We do take that seriously here
Also. You included DUI and drug issues. That alone raises problems. Some companies will not accept a DUI at all.... Even 20 years later. And drugs? When was the end of your sentence because most companies will want 3 years since the completion of your sentence. Mind altering substances and those affect reflexes are very significant. Even many prescribed medications are banned by companies.
You need to just apply everywhere... But it will be a long hard struggle.
DO NOT pay for CDL school. Find a company like CR England or PAM to accept you for their sponsorship program. You can pay for your school but it will be hard to get hired and after a few months. You will be told you need to go through schooling all over again. Dont waste your time and money
Good luck
