4 violations within the last two years
Are there any trucking companies that will take him? or are we screwed until sometime next year?
I have the feeling I know the answer since he already called Swift and they said they only allow three violations in the past three years. :sad:
If he cant get a trucking job i dont know what we're gonna do... Mich economy sux.
Thanks for any tips you can give me...

Ok this was me 15 years ago,don't be too hard on your husband he is probably just as upset as you are,I know I was.
It took me about 3 months to find a company to hire me,I eventually found a small private company,6 trucks hauling boats.This would be a place to start don't neccesarily only check the large companies look around at some smaller ones.
After my first 5 years I have had 1 speeding ticket in the last 15yrs,and none since 94'.
I also was not allowed to drive our personal vehicle because the insurance company would not insure me,so as you can see it does work as a wake up call.
