About To Graduate Cdl School But I'm Still On Probation

I graduate truck driving school on May first.Most of my classmates already have jobs lined up,but every time a recruiter talks to me I get shot down because I'm still on probation.Im allowed to travel and I'm on call in status only,but that still doesn't seem to matter.Are there any companies that hire someone that's still on probation?

Metal head. What is school's name and location. I'm looking for a school. Good luck on your job hunt.

Unfortunately you're going to have an incredibly difficult time finding work. This industry is really strict when it comes to criminal and driving backgrounds. Most companies will not hire someone who is on probation, nor anyone with a recent felony conviction. By 'recent' that can be anywhere from five to ten years. Some companies will not take anyone who has ever had a felony conviction.

All you can really do is Apply For Truck Driving Jobs with every company you can find and keep calling them until you get an answer. Don't wait for them to call you. A lot of the recruiters are super busy and may never get back with you.

Check sites like Craigslist for jobs also. There are a lot of smaller companies and owner operators on there that might consider giving you a shot.

Also, look around for local farms, logging companies, and trash companies like Waste Management.

If you can land a driving job and get some experience there will be other opportunities that open up. But in the beginning you're going to have to take whatever you can get.

Part of the big fear among companies is that even though your PO may have given you travel permission, there's still that potential that something happens and now here's a company that spent money on training and lost their driver and possibly the truck and it's payload. It's a big risk and the trucking industry is risky enough so they have to try and reduce that risk wherever they can.
