He would still have to get hired... he has to go through training. He has to report 10 yrs to new employer and they will call his old place.

Just have to be honest. Maybe try class B for awhile. At least that is something. Good luck

Class B hasn't ever crossed my mind. I'll take a look at that today. Maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel

Paul, I sometimes wonder if a driver like you trying to get hired again would benefit from looking into team driving opportunities. You would have to tolerate team driving for awhile, but it could give you the recent experience you need. I was just perusing some driver job listings and several were looking for a team driver. Might be worth a look-see.

Team driving. I haven't looked at that very much. Sounds like a good idea, worth a closer look anyway.

Fired for safety

Hello. Im one of those drivers looking for a second chance after an accident. Some background on me. I drove for two companies from 2015 -2020. I have 41 months total otr experience. I haven't driven for anyone since October 2020. On October 31,2020 just after 2300 hours I fell asleep at the wheel and struck a bridge underpass. Road conditions were dry. I totalled the truck and it had to be towed away, no injuries happened. I was issued a citation for improper lane change.I passed a drug and alcohol screen but was termed for safety...although the accident was not reported on my DAC or PSP. After this I let my CDL expire. In January 2024 I went back to trucking school. I have: A new CDL Two year med card Clearing House clean DAC clean PSP clean I was thinking after three years passed since the accident that someone might give mea second chance. We'll, it's been almost fours years and no one will touch me without six months recent, safe driving in a cmv. Even Western Express turned me away lol. Im just outside Chicago. Things look bleak at any opportunity to get my foot back on the door. I can accept that, but would appreciate any advice on whether I should just keep trying. Thanks
