My husband is looking for work, but we are having a lot of difficulties finding a company who will hire him. The details are below and any advice on companies to check with is much appreciated. We are DESPERATE for him to find work after being a single-income family for almost three years.
My husband drove for Star Transportation out of Nashville, TN for three and a half years. Prior to obtaining his CDL, he drove tow trucks and shuttle buses for several years and had no at-fault accidents while doing so. While with Star, he obtained 1 and 2 year safe driving awards.
On March 26, 2008, he was involved in an intersection crash that was ruled preventable and was released from his job. He was cited for "Failure to Use Due Caution" as a result of the accident. Due to miscommunication, the ticket was not paid in time and his license was suspended. It took us almost two years to save up the money to pay off the resulting fees and fines, but his CDL is now active. He has not worked since the wreck.
We are running into dead ends with every company we check with. Everyone is telling him no for one of several reasons:

Does anyone have ANY suggestions on companies to check with?? We are looking for that ONE company that will look past the issues that occurred as a result of the accident and will pay more attention to the years of safe driving he had prior to the wreck.
We live in upper middle Tennessee, but at this point, we don't care where the terminal is located.
