I got excited about something called ticket to work for disabled people and seniors. I applied for it and later went to a potluck lunch with someone and the higher-ups asked me to fill out an application so I could be part of their team. It involves driving and in the past I hadn't paid much attention to a driving score. Doing the last four or five years I lost my dad and my husband and during those times I received tickets during each occasion. I was discussing the funeral both times with someone in my car and was ticketed for speeding. It would my score down too low for the job. I wanted the job so bad that I took an online driving course and raise my score greatly. I bestowed to get a CDL learner's permit and the ticket to work program said they can offer classes so I can get my CDL. I was placed on a waiting list a few months ago just to get a letter that states they really cannot help me because of the funds and that program. What is the use a building people up to finally get back into the workforce and get a life just to sit you on a shelf until they can come up with a letter of disappointment. I truly was hoping to get something before these kids get out of school and take up all the jobs during the summer. I was so excited now to be so disappointed.. I can't even get the cdl learner's because you can only hold it three months and you have to go for your regular license. I am wanting to drive a bus but I must take a bus to get the correct endorsement. They offer classes but you have to pay for those and you need a job to pay for those. Had I gotten the job with the other company that seem to want my assistance they would have had the vehicles to help me get that CDL and I would have committed myself to working for them. To get excited and get slammed down it's like walking into a brick wall I guess..

Carolyn,

If it's something you enjoy doing, then it doesn't matter what others say. Driving truck is a profession that has impacted the overall economy heavily and with the shortage of qualified CDL candidates, companies especially in my Industry are paying increased rates due to this. Always good to be in an occupation where the need is growing.

Best,

Steven

I want to talk to someone at c r England trucking how do I get a # for them?

Don't have cdl any more

I am so tired of filling out applications. I am done. All these stupid job sites want me to subscribe, they blow my phone up with spam, with no results. It's the same crap every day. I ask for jobs driving a tow truck, they send me Cdl jobs, it does me nothing. I am through with this

I want to start by saying I went to a small trucking school to get my CDL where they didn’t teach me to drive but showed me how to get my CDL. Then I started working for a company that pushed miles but really wasn’t big on training. I’ve been driving about a year and a half. I’m nowhere near as good as I should be. I would like to start over with a company devoted to training. I have a few issues on my DAC report. Any suggestions?

I've been at my current job for 11 years and I decided I wanted a career change and out of factory work. So I got a part time job at a towing company. Did that for 2 years while working my full time job. Earned my CDL lisence recently and applied for a delivery driver job with a nationally recognized food company. I found out today that I got the job. Feeling pretty happy and I don't have to go over the road, it's all local and pays super amazing. The point of this story is no matter what you want in life you can have. I had sleepless nights, lots of hours working and I basically had no life for 2 years. But I knew what I wanted and I set my goals and reached them. Ahhh now I can sit back and enjoy the good things in life again.

Please help me
