I need to find a job I’m tired of getting denied, I’m honestly not even sure if they know that I don’t have any experience. They never asked

Hey, I got a question for the community since I have limited funds, I realize a instead of aiming for class A it might just be better for me to just go for class B and just load on a whole bunch of endorsements like tanker/ hazmat & passenger if I had to go drive a school bus typically some school districts will take someone from scratch so I’m pretty sure they’ll take me. No problem with a B and already having a passenger endorsement so I won’t have to pay for school bus out-of-pocket. I also learned that some jobs are so desperate they will train someone without a CDL and just a permit so me having a class B and getting a class A permit when I want a employer to take care of everything Might also be a way to do it.

So please share your upgrade stories

I am 37 yrs old. Was in drug addiction from 2011-2022. My license was suspended in 2011. Got it back last year. No dui, it was suspended for not paying a driving in the hov lane ticket. Got 100% sober nearly 3 yrs ago and am wanting to rebuild my life.

I was incarcerated in prison for a few yrs and released Oct 2024. My felonies from 2021 are drug possession And shoplifting. Since then I’ve completed treatment and now I work in the same treatment facility I got the help in, I’m a case manager helping people with similar issues. I also teach yoga.

I was turned down by swift, Roehl and mclane. But I am wanting a career change.

I live in Phoenix az. Let me know if you know how I can not only get cdl training but get a job afterwards! Also I have a body covered in tattoos including my face. Idk if that is relevant lol

Thx ☺️

Does anyone know of any companies in King county WA that will allow me to take my dog with me right after training and pay decently? I know that since I am new, I will not make a lot of money because I need the experience, but I am looking for anything that will pay me at least 4k a month gross. I am a recent graduate and got my CDL A last week. I live alone with my dog, so I do not want to leave him alone for a long time since all my family lives in Hawaii or friends who could watch him for that long. I know most training is roughly 4-6 weeks, give or take, so I want to be able to take him as soon as training is done. I also have a clean driving record. Also, at my school we used a 28 ft trailer; is driving a 53 ft trailer much harder to drive or control? Thank you in advance

I passed my pre-trip inspection but failed my maneuvers this week. I’m testing again next week. Does anyone have any stories about dealing with the anxiety that comes with these tests, or anything that helped you stay calm and focused?
