    I know that was canned by heartland express for 15 over several months ago. He's now in the Uber business.

    No one will hire him...

    Are you within your first year? Try Trans AM, Western Express, CR England and Carolina Cargo in that order. Or find a 1099 company on Craigslist.

    I thought most companies say "No more than two tickets in the past 3 years" or something like that?

    It was less than 15 over, so it is considered ONE ticket.

    If you ain't got a stack of them ONE ticket is what it is...plain and simple.
