Hi Truckerdm, it's been my experience, well known freight outfits like you mention want the best of the best, with crystal clean records and several references. You can try, but I wouldn't expect much of a response. Companies referred to as "bottom feeder" companies coined here, usually are the ones that hire drivers with any ill record. Good luck.
OD will take you if your tickets aren't sure anything major like 15 mph over speed or something. Just made sure you have all your endorsements prior to applying because they won't talk to you if you don't have them. That being said, most terminals will do a face to face with the TM, be sure to practicing kissing butt really well for that interview. My written history wasn't exactly stellar, but I had an interview when the TM and did pretty well and got myself a job there. If you do get on, be ready to work your ### off.
