I have been on disability since 2005 it's a verifiable through SSA, it is not a physical disability I have been cleared to work, I have one week to go to get my CDL Class A, and I'm having a hard time finding an employer, I've never been to jail and I haven't just been sitting idly either. I do not have any other way for verification for odd jobs, what can I do? Rouel has denied me without an excuse, and Stevens transport out of Dallas Texas told me that my SSDI is not a usable verification. I have applied to Swift transportation and Knight transportation as well as Titan transfer and FreyMiller. I'm based out of Tucson Arizona, does anybody have any good ideas or experience in this area.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Just apply everywhere. Verifiable was due to terrorism and 9/11. Trucks were used to slam into Ft Dix in NJ.

Apply everywhere... physical disabilities may heal, but certain aspects of trucking can cause re injury. Mental issues that have been solved can reappear due to the high stress of the job. You haven't worked in 20 yrs. Choosing one of the most dangerous and stressful careers may be a daunting task for you. Good luck and keep us posted.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
