    i have a question. i am supposed to start with prime at end of the month.. well i was working in louisiana when i told my current employer i would be quitting in 3 weeks. they got mad. i worked 1 more week and they fired me. because i grabbed the wrong sling to use on the crane. '' i never hooked it up.'' they said since it was the wrong sling that was unsafe. that's insubordination. what kind of #### is that. after i been with them 4 over a year. now prime says it was 1 of their policies not 2 hire any1 who had been FIRED from their last employer. but my recruiter said she would try. what can i do 2 help?????

    Keep in touch with your recruiter - I really haven't run across anyone with this particular problem before.

    I'd file for wrongful firing. Sounds like a crock of #### to me.

    If you have to ask, find a new career.

    I'd get a calendar. Hardluck77 posted that six months ago... and hasn't been on the site for five months.

    Well I cannot say what kind, as I too am planning on starting soon.
    I can say though if you are worried about what kind, then maybe you should concider McDonalds...they are always hiring and I do not think there is a drug test.
    I have been reading all kinds of posts to prepare myself for this lifestyle and I have seen this question many times. I just laugh my butt off every time.
    I am going to send out my app. and wait for a response on the pre-hire, but I assure you that I am nervous about starting a new career and worried about all the testing...But if I was at all worried about the drug test{btw}that is one test out of many that I will be required to take,I would not even waste the money or time...Mine or the company.

    Good luck
