I was then discharged on 01/10/2011 and ever since then I can not for the life of me find another company to hire me on. Although she came into my lane, I was discharged cause I wasn't following the company rules to the teeth. I was going the speed limit but I was suppose to go 5 mph below.
I was told USA Truck was like a 2nd chance company, but they told me the same thing just about every other company I talked to. Because I was discharged cause of an accident they couldn't take me. I got to have 2 yrs safe driving experience before they could consider me.
My question is, how or where can I go to get those years I need? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I live in Mesquite, Tx if that will make a difference.

The fact that you are a "Newbie" and already collected major points under CSA is a killer. CRE is a dirt bag company for doing that to you.........but then again.....CRE has been a dirt bag company for a very long time.
MY suggestion to you is; Sit down and write a letter of regret. Send it to CRE, explaining that you understand what you did wrong, explain your regrets for not having been capable of avoiding the accident and ask them to reconsider their stance and rehire you. Agree to an extended "retraining" period.
Wait for that letter to have had time to reach the CRE safety department....(send it priority mail). After that period has gone by (3 or 4 days) have a second letter written out and ready. Make certain it is sincere and comprehensive!! Then take both letters with you, and go to companies and speak with their hiring managers directly. DO NOT USE EMAIL OR THE PHONE...........Do this "In Person"!!
Be completely honest with these companies and their people.
You have Crete down on I-45 in Wilmer. Stevens Transport has a terminal in the Dallas area. Get out there and talk with these companies face to face, and be sincere in your regrets. Do not try and place blame...simply express sincere regret.
