Help :New Trucker (female)

It doesn’t matter how many there about 3-5 years old . Again I’m 22 years old of course I showed irresponsibility I was still in high school . That’s the past . Yes I want to drive a tractor trailer & I will someday . So don’t come on her with the smart remarks . I’m just looking for help not to be judge !

1. It obviously does matter which is why you cannot find a job.

2. My company went back to a 1978 ticket for one of my students. For various reasons.

3. Sweetie.... you haven't seen any smart remarks. Though tempted that I may be... I understand that you do not know what you do not know. For example.. you dont know how important our records are. High school.or not. You still couldn't provide a number of occurences. An employer will ask you. They will have the answers and they will test you to find out if you are a liar or just reckless and oblivious to your actions. I have spent the better part of a decade helping, training and mentoring new drivers and received several awards doing it. I have no problem with people judging me on my record. Get used to it. Cause a career in trucking will be just that. A competition between drivers, and a reputation built on your past actions.

4. You need to understand that you are competing with literally thousands of drivers with absolutely clean records in every way. The only way for companies to judge you is through your past. And yes, they will judge you. It is called a job onboarding process.

Stay safe. Don't get anymore tickets. Dont be flippant with recruiters. Admit to being wrong. Take responsibikity rather than downplaying the infractions.

Trucking is serious enough that we cannot even take a Benadryl for allergies or Nyquil when we get sick. We are held to higher standards. Hold yourself to them.

Good luck. Again apply everywhere.
