2 months

I’m not understanding why you would have obtained your CDL but after two months, still not have a job requiring a CDL. Maybe there’s some life stuff that happened in between there that sidetracked you from getting a driving job, but I’m just going on the information given. At this point, no reputable company is going to touch you with that accident on your record, so yeah, you’re gonna wanna wait several years, about three. Keep your DOT medical certificate current, so your CDL doesn’t get suspended/reduced. In a couple of years… when you/if you… pursue driving jobs, you’ll at least have a current CDL, albeit with zero experience. You may be required to take a refresher course… … If you still really want to drive, you may still apply anywhere and everywhere… someone may take a flyer on you, and it won’t hurt you (just your ego) if you simply end up with a bunch of rejections.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices

My current job talked me into staying with them as a fill in driver (straight trucks and tractor trailers) but I never drive so I’m just listed as a driver still doing my old job. Thanks for the reply guess I’ll just wait it’s not like I’m jobless and desperate for a job I’ll just keep working in the sun all day.

Just got my class a two months ago and got into an accident in my personal vehicle both vehicles were towed away. I was issued a failure to yield right of way ticket. SHP said I can get ticket dismissed if I show letter from insurance company. I was in the process of looking for my first company to start with but now idk if I should wait for this whole accident situation to be over with and settled first before applying. I honestly don’t know what to do it’s my first accident ever had to happen at the worst time.
