Alright so my situation kind of sucks. I've applied to about 7 different trucking companies throughout the past few months to join a CDL training program, received calls from most but I've been turned down by them too or have had no further replies. I'm starting to feel discouraged, but I really want to get into truck driving. My work history kind of sucks and I've been told that by two companies, and I had a speeding ticket for 22 over back in January, but I've already taken defensive driving and am waiting on my certificate. Two other companies told me my ticket would make me ineligible, one said to call back once I'd taken care of it and we'll see from there but the other said I'd have to wait 3 years.... I've also attempted going through trucking school to try and give myself a better chance, but to get funding I'd need to basically have a written statement promising me a job once I've finished, but I've already put the dilemma I've had with that. Now I'm really at a loss of what to do now. I'm waiting for my defensive driving certificate to be mailed so I can submit it to court, but even then do I have a chance after???
