It may hinder you at some companies, but not all. With a spotty work history, you'd probably be safer to Apply For Paid CDL Training with multiple companies.

Thank you so much for this information. I was feeling fairly discouraged so this has lifted my spirits. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
For the gaps you will just need letters from family or friends that know what you were doing during that period. This became an issue after 9/11. The gov’t wants to verify you weren’t training terroists or the like.
Well, that makes sense. That was the question I didn’t want to ask! Y’all are sweet. Tysm

I hope y’all don’t mind answering a question for me. I graduated in 2000 working in my field until 2015 at which time I was put on disability. In 2017, while still on disability, I moved in with my parents to help as they’re elderly/sick. From 2017 to present I worked off and on while still helping my parents. My question is will these gaps in my recent employment history preclude me from trucking school/employment? Before I went on disability I had the same job for 10 years. Went off disability in 2018 but was helping my parents so have no employment/disability for about 1.5 years. Thanks for your time.
