    Fedex,it might be an issue.It depends if the contractor can pull some strings.But it's still a lengthy process getting hired.Could take two weeks or longer before getting cleared.

    I just applied at the terminal today and had a talk with the guy that will train me. It didn't seem like being terminated will disqualify me. He was more concerned with clean mvr and background (not worried) you're right he mentioned at least two weeks for result to come back hopefully everything goes good. Guaranteed $1300 a weeks or $1450+ a week for 2weeks or more out. Got my fingers crossed..

    Yall company must treat you well, I need to get away from bottom feeding mega carriers. This was my first issue or termination with any company. from the turnover rates and other discrepancies drivers have with mega carriers, if they just treated drivers better than an old faded t-shirt that need to be replaced once they hire them, then it would be a start to a brighter future for everyone.

    Treating drivers the same way they treat pilots. 150K salary each year and tightly regulated shippers and recievers.

    One can dream.

    Getting away from the bottom feeders is sound advice for anyone. :)

    Lol. I did a 720 today. That's where you u turn and drive out the same way you started. It had to be done. Did it quick to (didn't want anyone to see)- whipped that baby on a dime.

    ;-)
