Disqualified From Prime :( Next Best Option? Or Am I SOL?

You bet you’ll hear things good and bad about western some true !! Most not but every situation works out different for every individual !! But you will get good training here and and a second chance most likely I’ve seen guys get it you would think no way but they ask you questions and see how you respond if you accept responsibility and say hey I’m not that person anymore they will definitely take it in account good luck to you...! Jammer🙏

Welcome to the forum you might try western express they’re a really forgiving company and be 100% honest with them don’t leave nothing out with the recruiter and they will tell you yay or nay before you come in I live in az they sent me to a ca terminal and everything the recruiter said has happened I’ve got a pretty extensive past criminal history with a lot of bad driving history they took me but my stuff is 20 yrs old!!!! Another student though who was otr training with me had several accidents with his old trucking company got hired and had to sign a contract with them. But they took him on !!! So you might give western express a call

I had a recent license suspension for failure to appear. It was from a $50 dollar ticket I forgot to pay and that ticket was from my registration being expired. (Yes...im very mad at myself and I've done beat myself up enough over it) I also have 2 at fault wrecks and 2 speeding tickets (last 3 years) on my record. I applied for prime 2 years ago and was accepted to the truck driving school. Everything was clear and I was supposed to pick a date to go to school. Well life happened and I ended up not going. Now I really want to do this more than ever. I want a career and I know I'm a fast learner. I've spoken to so many family members, friends and aquaintences over the years who work in the trucking industry and they all love it. I just recently got a job that has me being in contact with multiple truck drivers throughout the the day and I don't know. It's like the more time I spend taking to them the more I get my motivation/inspiration back to jump into it. But now I feel like my driving record is holding me back :( I'm also known as the one in the family that can't drive...so my sister always makes fun of me when I talk about how much I want to start truck driving and that just kills my belief in myself. I've also been ghost following this forum/site for YEARS. I just finally decided to make this account though. I also know you guys preach about not listening too much to others when they give their bad opinions about certain schools because one bad experience for one could be a good experience for someone else. A truck driver I befriended at my job told me NOT to go with CRST. BUT idk. I think I'd enjoy team driving. Aren't you getting paid more and more home time than solo drivers? She didn't even give me a reason why she said don't go with them...she just said they have a bad reputation. But so does CR England, Knight, and Swift. Out of all of them...I feel like CRST is my best chance to get qualified again. I also have read articles on here about this and the best advice was saying to just apply everywhere and go with whoever takes you. I don't want to do that and end up hatng it :( I guess I just need a little more advice/motivation.

Sorry it so long and I keep jumping all over the place. I just want to finally do something and finish. I was in college for 8 years right out of high school and I did some things that caused me not to graduate from x-ray school :(

Okay. Thank you! I will definitely check them out.

Thanks for the other responses.
