    or even be able top attend a Mega carrier CDL School.
    I know a small CDL MiIls wants at least 6 month clean driving history

    Lets say I'm from New York and I just started driving, will 6 months driving a car be enough to get hired?

    Yeah, you can't get driving history until you get a CDL and drive for a trucking company. That means going to a driving school. If you're younger than 23 it means getting at least a Class B license and doing some local driving and then living to be 23.

    Dumb question, but how old are you? Because yes, that matters.

    I had a 30 year driving history before even thinking of driving a semi.

    Are you like 16 and two months, and that is the reason for no history?

    Or over 21 and never drove even a passenger car before? Not that there is anything wrong with that. There are many reasons why some have not.

    Submit a couple of online applications and find out.
    If that doesn't work, then look for a cheap CDL school.
    Some guy posted from NYC he went to a 20 hr. school and was hired by Roadtex, but I can't verify that happened; it's just what he posted. It better to attend a 160 hr. school or at the least 120 hr. school.
    Submit some applications to trucking company schools:

    Wrong; If you have a license CDL or not you have a driving history.
