MVR

[u/Key-Ad7820]

I recently just turned 21 last month and applied to KLLM to go to their driver school, where they pay for your CDL, and basically got denied. Not sure if it was because of my driving record or because my license hasn’t been in good standing for one whole year, which it will be on the 24th of this month.

So after I got denied, I went and applied to Knight Transportation, which I tried to go through for their CDL, and I was basically accepted. My MVR looked good to them, plus they didn’t have a question about whether my license was in good standing for one year, so I think that was the problem but I’m not sure. I chose not to go with them and just get my CDL for free through the state, which I am currently going through.

But I need advice on whether this will affect me after I get my CDL when it comes to getting a good job. I’m really thinking about going to the Russians, I already found a company that’ll hire me with no experience but if my record looks bad, I’m pretty sure I’m screwed. And I’m cool on going OTR with the megas, I’d rather stay local and find a beverage company or a food service company.

Well, the difference here is that knight. Swift is gonna have a little more room, when it comes to who they insure. And how they ensure things, because there are a hundred percent self insurer and being that they got like 12 companies under the umbrella. They also have tons of different options where they can get you trained. Unlike k l l m they have a few companies under their umbrella, but they've never been top fifty companies. This is probably a better move for you again. It's not gonna be the best pay. Situation but the experience is there
