Old experience and a fresh cdl

Postby sw1241 on Thu Apr 16, 2009 9:17 pm

I have a multitude of problems, #1 being I need to stay CA, AZ, Nevada to please a lady, next problem is I have 9 years driving with a good safety record "BUT" it is really old experience (pre dac), third and last, I have a traffic ticket from last year in my car, passing on right before the lane was designated as a turn lane, Anyhow, the CA. unemployment dept paid for me to go to school and I have a nice shiney new cdl, how do I put it to use?

With those requirements, er, you may not have many choices - if any. Your past experience, like you said, is old - so to a company your just like the rest of the recent grads and will have to put your dues in - and that may mean being out on the road for 5 to 6 days at a time.

I am at the point that if I could find something like that, I would be a happy camper ( 5 to 6 out) that would allow me to do the things that need to be done. so far I can find nothing, so I can use some suggestions and or some help!
