Good morning everyone,
I was recently fired from Cypress Truck lines about 2 weeks ago and now many companies do not want to touch me since I was fired with less than 1 year experience(i worked 3 months with US Xpress before Cypress). The reason I was fired was because when I was driving with my second trainer he did not like my load securement abilities or some driving abilities such as paying attention to the GPS and some backing skills. I didn't hit any thing or have any safety violations. It was just plain "they didn't like my progression and i wasnt a good fit for flatbed." So now I'm having a hard time finding a CDL job since I stated that I was fired. Ive tried Swift, KLLM, western express, Navajo, Tribe and various companies from this thread here Trucking companies that give second chances. Im at a loss and I'm heavily considering going back to white collar work if I can't find anything trucking or if I'm basically black balled. Should I have stated I was fired from Cypress if it wasn't for any safety or drug related reasons?

How long at Cypress?
Personally I’d take the attitude that you weren’t hired so just leave them off of your resume.
Problem solved
Maybe try Paul Transportation in Tulsa, OK if flatbed is what you want. Last I knew they hired new drivers.jaws2003 Thanks this. -
