One Last Question

If you have receipts and other documentation regarding the incident that should help. The best thing would be to be upfront with companies when you apply. Every job history section asks why you left your former employer. Just write in the small space, "See attached statement" and then add a sheet that explains your side of the story. In that commentary, if you do have the receipts, say, "Receipts available for review." Of course the pay back of the funds could end up being a "his word against yours" unless you can prove that everything he paid you was documented on your settlement sheet.

One of the biggest reasons people don't get hired, especially with US Xpress and their strange way of doing things, is because they do not reveal everything up front. The company sees this as you trying to hide something and hoping it goes unnoticed. They then assume you to be dishonest and feel you will be unreliable, thus the turn down for employing you.
