    Maybe you can learn something from Charlie Sheen in Anger Management.

    Ok, now now that a few people have said bad, how glorious and wonderful did it feel? I haven't clocked anybody since I was younger and some days I miss the option of a good shut the hell up punch!

    Again I say, I am not after lectures or I would go elsewhere, all I really want is a straight forward answer, primarily about lease purchase because I already know thats probably going to be my best bet. Honestly the company shouldnt even put 2 new people in a truck together before they can go solo, especially when one of them has been through 4 other teammates for the same types of issues

    When you know your job is on the line as soon as you do it, it doesnt feel good at all, noatter how badly it was needed

    I understand. I did the 'Stan and the big sandbox both as a Combat Medic (or "healthcare specialist", as they call it under the new MOS structure). Believe you this, I was in a real bad way coming back from that, and it was everything I could do not to snap. There are veteran's groups and organizations directed towards vets, the VA (for better or worse)... if you need to talk to someone, talk to someone. Because it's not something you just miraculously snap out of.
    Best of luck to you.

    Stay away from a lease, you have been driving two months. Try western express, they tend to give second chances. Good luck.

    Maybe they won't fire you.
    Greatwide/Cardinal has about the best purchase program.
    Big-M Transportation might hire you or maybe Howard Transportation.
    Apply with all and wait.

    Ok thanks. I'm hoping they dont fire me. I do everything I'm supposed me. They can even talk to my trainer and previous codriver and they will say its kind of shocking that I did something like that. Previous codriver tried to get back on the truck with me after christmas but they wouldnt allow it. Anyways thanks for the info man, if the unspeakable happens then I'm def gonna apply for all of those
