We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.

Hey truckers , im in a situation and am having trouble finding employment because of it. I have had my CDL for a year now, having gotten into an accident (drove under low bridge in straight truck I stupidly thought was low enough to enter my first month with CDL, had only driven 53 footers prior) it made my total of accidents 3 as I had 2 in a car in 2020. So currently it doesn’t look to great for me. I’ve had employment with Pepsi but recently left after moving to new job where I was laid off. I’m asking if anyone has any advice going forward and what I should do as far as trying to continue my career in this field. All opinions are welcome and I appreciate you all in advance.
