    I would say that the prospects will not be good, in any event you will probably have to go with somebody you would not want to.

    Get all of your paperwork together from the incident. Get a copy of your DAC and see what entries that the company put in. Then prepare what you are going to say to the recruiters, don't lie, don't "forget to tell them". Then call the training companies that are out there.

    You will be facing an uphill battle.

    Never insist on the right of way, even if it's rightfully yours. It is a little like shifting on that RR track, it is the kiss of death.

    Have you thought about Raider Express? It is in Fort Worth, they train. Call 'em and tell them what happened, it's not the end of the world. If I had a dollar for every time an "experienced driver" ran up and over a curb, I would be retired 30 years by now.

    honestly, why does anyone even want to pursue this "less than minimum wage" abuse any more?

    Tough break, What I would do is get the yellow pages out and go from trucking company to trucking company in your area and putting in applications. Then the next day cold call them and start off again where you left off in the phone book. That is just me I want to work

    Im almost certain you could find a schooling company to take you. England loves people who need extra training, it helps them to keep their lease operators making payments.
