    I was terminated this morning, I honestly feel like they were itching for a reason to fire me, I never stood a chance with this company to begin with, and that’s fine.

    No accidents, tickets, etc. I was on a determination period because I delivered 2 loads late and went into violation one night thinking I had enough time to make it to a truck stop. And people have done way worse! But everyone’s different, I know. So then I get a video (the truck had cameras) the next week showing that I did a rolling stop, so they called me down to a terminal 800 miles from home thinking I’m going to get my truck fixed and terminated me, and I had to find my own way home. But anyway I’m just wondering if there’s still a chance for me somewhere else? I’m looking for northeast regional, dedicated northeast or something local around the eastern shore area.

    Oh, and I’ve had my CDL since May, training since July, and been solo since Aug 3rd 2023.

    Were you given a reason for firing?

    Western Express and Leonard's Express are two good outfits to think about.

    You really referring this guy to Western Express? What did he do to you to get you to hate him so much?

    Westen Express is oK. The company gets a bad rap. @bryan21384 agrees with me. We both worked there and only whiners can't hack it there.

    Thank you :)
    So they said I was being terminated for already being in the determination period and getting that rolling stop event on top of the 2 late loads a couple weeks before, and going into violation to find a place to park all within a 70 day period. I live in Dover, DE. I applied to Western Express earlier today but haven’t heard anything back probably because it’s Friday. I know that Western Express is not the best company lol but some people are telling me that it may be my only choice because of the termination.

    Dover, DE is a good location.
    Western Express has regional with dry van division and OTR with flatbed division.
