    Hi, everyone, I am new here, this is my first time to post, I 'd like to say thank you for everyone who will read this, and hope to get some help here!
    I' ve liked driving a big eighteen wheeler since long time ago, in March,2007, I made two mistakes when I worked for stevens transport, within one week, I had a backing accident (half point was deducted), and little speedy when I was downhilling for which I stoped at the bottom of the mountain in Utah to get rid of the smoke, I know I did wrong, but I didn't want to go back to trainer-trainee team when stevens asked me to, so,I quit.
    last month, I wanted to drive again, for this I got a loan and went to Road Master Driver School, tried my best to pick up every skill and wanted to become much better than I was two years ago.After 3 weeks training, I was prehired by swift company, but after I had 3 days orientation, they told me to go back to wait for being coded. now one week passed, no any information from them. It's said stevens said something to them.I feel so bad, I spend a lot on it. what I can imagine is that stevens is mad at me and they misunderstood me since my English was not that good when I was working for them 2 years ago. For my little speedy downhilling, I told them I was loyal to them (since some drivers told I should've not told stevens to avoid further trouble) in the hope that they wouldn't insist my going back to trainer-trainee team. They might have misunderstood me and thought something else.(at that time, my spoken English was not good since I just immigranted in USA in 2005), I still remember their angry face and in the paper I saw at swift, I was not qualified to rehire and instead of asking me to go back trainer-trainee team, they said I was fired!I know they misunderstand me.
    now I got into big trouble, I got a loan for going back to Road Master Driver School, I spent 3 weeks in the motel for the school, I don't have money to pay back to them, I heared swift would pay the tuition, that's why I chose swift company. but because of stevens transport, swift won't hire me, I feel so frastrated, my wife and kid need me to support, I don't what to do.

    Thank you, Kinghunter, but just as I applied for swift, any company you suggested won't hire me if stevens say bad words about me, I feel so bad because of their misunderstanding.

    Get your DAC report from hireright. If stevens said bad things, you can contest it.

    No Stevens won't change. If they did they would be admitting that they are wrong.

    You have to contact DAC and contest what Stevens left on your report (you get to tell your side)

    Stevens' comment will stay but, new employers get to see your comments.

    Hope this helps.
