Hi I have over 6 years of experience, I made mistakes along the way, and I learned from it. I lost my CDL in May of 2020, due to high blood pressure, and it took over 2 years to get it down so I could pass my CDL medical test. I paid all of my fines, and I have my CDL back, tankers, air breaks, and combination . I am looking for dry van jobs, I live in Columbia Tennessee 38401. I am ready to hit the road. Does anyone know of any companies that will hire me besides Western Express?? Thank you for any help.
Hi, Adam . . and welcome!
There's a good chance you may have to take a refresher course, many companies DO provide one. Did Western give you the 'go ahead?'
I'd highly suggest this link; and mention 'refresher' in the comments: Apply For Paid CDL Training.
There's a GREAT chance you'll hear back today, even.
Best of luck; keep us in the loop!

ps: As George asks; ... what fines? In all interest of time; fill out the above re: refreshers, and disclose everything honestly!

You should be fine without the refresher course. Most companies require at least 1 year experience in the last 3 years or 3 years experience in the last 5 years. Anything outside of that would require a refresher. Put out apps see who bites.

I agree completely with Donna. 2 years? OMG! What were your numbers? What was the real cause? That sounds to me more like hypertension and several strokes if it takes 2 years to lower it to acceptable levels.
