Follow me through Central Refrigerated training

I was terminated from my last position. It was a non-driving position. My conversation with the Central recruiter went like this:

Recruiter: I see you were terminated from your last position. Was that a driving job?
Me: No, it was not.
Recruiter: That termination's a problem. There's nothing I can do. *Click*

 

lol. yeah that sounds like them.

 

Well if they are only concerned with being terminated from your "last job" then couldn't that by bypassed by going and working for a pizza place as a delivery driver for a couple weeks before applying or any job for that matter that you can be actively on even if its part time?

 

reason for being terminated matters also not just that you WERE terminated.

 

Question is how long ago were you terminated and why?

 

I was terminated back in May for being out sick during the probationary period. The recruiter I talked to at Central hung up before I could explain the situation.

 

Are you collecting unemployment? If not, the recruiter is right. I was terminated wrongfully, and they(Central) knew it. I was however, collecting unemployment, which was proof I was wrongfully terminated.

 

I was terminated for the same reason. I'm currently applying for unemployment and waiting to see if I get it while looking for other work.

 

Just checking in. Have not posted in a while. I'm sitting in CO at a McDonalds (free wifi). Heading up to WI in the morning. So far all has been good. My backing is getting a lot better. I seem to have been bitten by the tire bug. In the last month I have had 2 trailer super singles blowout, a supersingle drive, quasi blowout (I heard a hiss and thought I had an air leak so I pulled off into a Loves to find I had a flat) I have also had 3 trailers with flat inner dules that I picked up from crswvc and they were flat within 100mi. Last night I had my left steer blow out while going 65+ down hill and curving right, I'm still picking seat out of my, well you know. Even with all this I am still loving it. I make aboue $600/week my best week was $1200, but that was because of some late trip packs, and I get home every 3-4 weeks. Anyone thinking about it should just do it.
