Thumbs down Metroploitan trucking inc Bloomsburg Pa

Ok so here's the scoop. I was terminated last year for removing the speed governor on my company issued Columbia, Obviously that ws wrong and it took them nearly a year to catch me lol. I figured they'd dac me and just put tampering with co equipment or something along those lines, they instead load my dac with about four or five hits of almost bs. I had NO problem getting hired as a company with my previous company (after Metropolitan) but the safety guy advised me it was on there. Just advising those to watch out for this Mickey Mouse b.s company. I'm bringing it up now b/c I just purchased my 1st brand new tractor and was turned down at Texas star express b/c of this.

Not to question your business approach, but would have it been better to find a company to lease on with prior to buying your trk?

This is true but I never had an issue getting hired on anywhere and I figured worse case I'd just get my own authority and get my own loads. Its just a little more hassle that way. My dac issue is basically cleard up for now though (they removed nearly all of the negatives) ?????
