    I told Conway about an incident I had (I hit a yellow pole with the right front fender) that I didn't put on my application (because it's not on my driving record, my DAC, or any other record) and because I didn't put it on my application, they sent me home. Would they have found out about it later and fired me? Would they have found out about it before hiring me and sent me home anyway? I have no idea. It wasn't a chance I was willing to take.

    Good to be honest, but if it's not on you're driving record, I pretty sure they would have not found out. It's good not to leave anything out though.

    They said I could come back in 6 months if I wanted to. For now I have to look elsewhere for work. I'm gonna send in more apps and call a few more recruiters and see what happens.
