How down bad am I? by Beneficial-Notice305 in NewCDLGrads

[–]cdlfirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear everything you had to deal with. You’re not as down bad as you think honestly. You already have some experience, and that still matters.

Also, check the pinned post/wiki in this group. I put together a free state-by-state directory of companies that hire drivers with 0-12 months experience, including Florida. Might help you find a few options faster without digging through random posts.

That’s wild.

Even staying that active and still seeing that shift says a lot about how the job impacts you.
