I am, and I'm not stopping the job hunt. I'm hoping for something in truck driving, that's all. I appreciate your input, and your understanding. Thank you.
Rick, I understand and I'm sorry for your loss. I hope this next phase brings you better times. I sincerely mean that. I sensed you weren't trying to hide anything and I do understand your loss is not really any of my business. Thanks for sharing that.
Going forward, I would recommend you get to work anywhere. While I understand you are seeking a truck driving job, please get yourself back into a work environment, and schedule. There are probably plenty of jobs that pay crap, but if you're willing to do it, that gives you something generating income plus it gets your body and mind back into a work routine.
You don't know if you're going to get a trucking job, so why put all your eggs in that one basket? Frankly, you don't even know that you're going to like it once you're in it. If you start working now at, say Lowe's, Home Depot, or a fast food place, nobody's gonna hold it against you if you suddenly have to give notice due to a truck driving job offer. Plus, if the trucking thing doesn't materialize, at least you have something to give you spending cash.
Whatever you decide, I wish you the best. But I'm also a firm believer that 95% of success is just showing up. Are you?

Rick, you might find something by giving a recruiter at Hogan a call. They hire drivers to drive cars from one location to another. Could be a way for you to bridge to another driving job.
Thanks, BK! Prime reached out to me, and I will hopefully be starting orientation with them next week. I've been studying my butt off for the CLP (using a mixture of apps, youtube and High Road Training), and I think I'll be ready to take the test by Friday, Monday at the latest. I'm going in for my physical tomorrow.

Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
