Hey y’all I’m in the process of getting with a company to get my cdl. I’ve had a couple of offers mainly from lower paying companies. Don’t get me wrong I know I’m going in as a rookie and I need to suck it up and go with whoever will hire me. Currently I’ve been talking to three companies that are willing to work with me but one of them still has to verify my employment. That company is Prime. My current employer tends to blacklist people to force them to stay with the company. Another company is C.R. England who is ready for me to be on the bus and ready to train. The other is Crst I’ve heard bad things on both companies such as the pay sucks and that crst just puts you with a driver to do team driving. They also apparently went to an all automatic fleet. I don’t want to hold out for prime and possibly not be hired. But I also don’t want to jump the gun and lose a job that pays well. Any suggestions?

Driving

I am driver

I would like to try to advance my Class B license or even learn some new different challenges

I'm currently a School Bus Driver in which I had to get my Class B with School Bus and Passenger Endorsements to be able to obtain my position. I've been doing this job for 2 years and 7 months now. I love my job, the benefits are great, but I can't support myself with the less than $600 a month coming in from this position. So I just recently graduated from Truck Driver Training School and I now have my Class A License with my Doubles/Triples and Tanker Endorsements and I'm planning to get my Hazmat as well. I've been searching for local work to allow me to be able to be home to take care of my dogs every 24-48 hours but as it stands right now, it seems like no one will give me the time of day to earn the driving experience that everyone wants. I have a Sophmore in high school that isn't old enough for a driver license yet and doesn't have a job to support herself and I have a Junior in high school that is licensed and drives one of my vehicles everyday to school and work. Neither are responsible enough to be trusted to look after the dogs properly. Everyone wants you to have anywhere from 3 months to a year of Class A driving experience but don't want to give me the time of day to gain it. How am I supposed to be able to get my Class A Driving Career going when no one will give me a chance?

My advice is to watch out for the driver clique. If they don't like you they will do everything they can to undermine your employment at Rickman all the while they'll be shaking your hand with a smile on their face. Other than that, really good company to work for.

Is there any openings in the Orlando FL area that is hiring for a local CDL A driver???
