A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Best advice I can offer is apply to anything and everything. And yes I'm talking about even the companies you've heard were trash. I know you want a specific thing like flatbed but unfortunately beggars can't be choosers. What you want and what you need are in conflict right now. What you need is experience and a solid work history. So whatever company will give you a chance is the one you need to go with and stick with for a relatively long time. Drive safe, get the job done and be professional. Eventually you'll have a choice as to where you want to drive, until then, do whatever needs to be done. Other than that there's not much that can be said for your situation.
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.

Hey so my name is Matthew Trichell im 21 years old im looking for a good over the road job preferable flatbad but box if needed, i have a clean driving record and clean background but poor work history and im having this issue where ive applied to companys like maverick, melton, and swift where it all sounded good like i was about to be able to get on when i spoke to recruiters but when it came to my applications to be reviewed for each one ive been denied due to poor work history. Which is in the last 3 years to be honest ive had maybe 5 or 6 jobs because i didnt know what i was doing with my life and have been fired before a couple of times but not because of anything terrible but ive always been a hardworker and always showed up to work to do my job and thats that. So im having a hard time finding a company that will take me on with poor work history if any one has any over the road companys that i can try or what issue im having and why im getting denied i would appreciate it the help.
