Give CFI a call. They take everyone on a case by case basis and you won't be the only one.

If CFI takes you they will train you.

Welcome, 3S.

The truth is, nearly ALL companies will evaluate drivers on a case-by-case basis. Many will also train you, as well. Don't limit yourself to just one company.

We recommend you decide for yourself what kind of company you are looking for, and then apply to ALL of those companies. Casting a wide net increases your chances of catching a fish.

Check out these links to get you started. Good luck!

I agree with Turtle 100%. I also conquer with PackRat...but this is not the time to address that.

Steve putting all of your eggs in one basket is definitely NOT in your best interest and will likely net you discouragement. The competition for jobs starts the moment you apply. Give yourself the best possibly chance.

CFI is only one of many options for you. As Turtle suggested; cast the net wide!

We want you to succeed.

Good luck Steve!
