Best Major Carrier For New Cdl Driver?
Topic 30761 | Page 1
A lot will depend on both the conviction and the date of the conviction.
I just got my cdl class A license with E restriction from passing the road test on first try. Now i would like to know which major carriers would take me even tho my driving records are not so clean. I don't have DUIs nor DWIs but do have some points nowhere enough to suspension the license. I'm over at the east coast. I'm going to do some research but i do like to hear opinions from drivers has been or still in one of the major carriers.
