    wassup community. I'm wanted to ask if anyone knew of a mega or sub mega type company hiring in the florida area. I currently have two bypassing scale citations, a speed warning, and a small incident while backing up to a scale I passed. I hit a sign in the scale lot. The sign at the scale wasn't pursued. My former employer assured me that the only safety violations they would report would be that. Any advice is appreciated.

    I'm driving for Watkins out of Lakeland. They run as far west as Texas but mainly southeast. Reefer,All automatics, cams in trucks start.44cpm. Just got onto their Tropicana dedicated and should see more miles but ran average of 1800-2300 on regular fleet a week.

    I want to know how you were 'forced to quit'. Was it a 'You resign or we fire you.' scenario?

    This is a tough one.... I'm not sure which mega will hired a person who can't read a "open" sign. How the hell did u miss 2 scales? And that's the scale that chase you, how many did u bypass without them chasing u?
