No good deed ever goes unpunished eh?
Just out of curiosity how much time elapsed between your team mate having booze on the truck and you turning the bum in?
On to your problem. All I can do is tell you to keep making phone calls to companies that hire with 6 months experience.
I do not know everyone you have talked to but you might try Ozark and Knight if you have not already.
If all else fails and you find out Swift will give you a job then go there for around 6 months, make the best of it, then start looking for another job if it turns out to be unbearable for you. |

you snitched on your partner, and now YOU are suffering?
there IS a God
no, i am not condoning alcohol, but nobody, not even a company likes a snitch
you should have just duked it out with your team mate, got back in the truck, and when you returned to the yard asked for a different team mate, and when they asked why, say that he smelled or something |

| smile all you want. If I had to do it over, I would not change the fact of turning in a driver who has the nerve to bring alcohol into a commercial vehicle. And my circle of friends agree. But then my circle of friends are educated, God fearing people! |

Crete, CFI, JB HUnt, CEladon will not hire me. They are saying due to their liability insurance and the fact I was teminated is why. A few of the companies told me to go to a company like swift-who would hire me and afater driving for 3 more mths. they could hire me. I HATE swift. I have 7 mths driving experience and my first 4 mths I was with them.
ANy adive anyone could give me I would appreciate. I am from MI and good jobs of any kind are almost impossible to find.
Thanks for your time.
Have a look at TRL. They may team you up. |

I believe there is more to the story than you told, if I turn in my neighbor for robbing a bank, does that mean I am involved in bank robbery? |
