I've got 17 yrs of otr, but I've been out of the truck for 9 months taking care of family situations. I want to get back in the game, but nobody will let me in now due to multiple challenges...
1. I have diabetes. I'm not on insulin, but I've had a few companies tell me that my sugar is out of control at 200ish.. Hospital said A1C was 8.4 in march when I had covid.
2. Car ran a red light a few weeks ago, but I got ticketed for failure to yield.
3, and worst, I quit my last job back in Sept. but boss is telling people he fired me because of too many accidents after I damaged a trailer a few days prior to quitting.
No company will even talk to me after, according to my old boss, I got fired.
Does anyone know of a decent company that would even give me a chance ?

Metformin and walking will bring the sugar down to acceptable levels.
Of course you still have to watch what you eat and lay off the beer.

Plenty of CDL jobs on Facebook and Craigslist that pay on 1099 and very lenient on hiring criteria.
Failure to yield, damaged trailer, diabetes, won't get you on with a decent company, but probably still make good pay.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
Eating better also, I got my A1C from 10.3 to 5.7 in less than a year and #### if I could not do better. 8.4 will still pass DOT, don’t get on metformin unless you have to. Eat better and walk.
I bet someone will give you a job.Trucker61016 and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
