    LMAO....STOP WORRYING BRO...YOUR TRUCKING LIFE IS NOT DEAD..THIS YOUR CHANCE AT REDEMPTION..don't look at the glass half EMPTY..yet look at it as HALf FULL!!!

    Do you know how MANY drivers WISH,WIiiish they could just sit out 2 1/2 years,Do u know bow many DRIVERS ARE CHARGED WITh MURDER BECAUSE THEY ACCIDENTALLY KILLED SOME ONE AND WISH THEY COULD TAKE IT BACK..THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THEY PROBABLY MADE A HONEST MISTAKE AND CANT CHANGE it U KNEW U WERE DRIVING ILLEGAL,U KNEW U NEEDED REST,U KNEW U WERE TIRED BUT STILL CHOSE TO DO IT.

    ON THE OTHER HAND I BELIEVE U CAN AND WILL CORECT YOURSELF,

    yet u up here feeling SORRY FOR YOURSELF...don't know if u are a FAITH BASED GUY or what almighty you WORSHIP OR LOOK UP TO...but EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD HAPPENS FOR A REASON!

    U SHOULD OF KISSED THE D.O.T. that pulled you over HE DID U A BIG FAVOR-BELIEVE IT OR NOT...PUT THINGS N PERSPECTIVE...PERHAPS U FELL ASLEEP N DOT WASNT BEHIND U..?? ITS SAFE TO SAY AS SPECULATION ...U WOULDNT EVEN BE HERE TALKING TO US TODAY?? U COULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW...BUT U ARENT....U COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE BUT U DIDNT,U DIDNT B GRATEFUL BROTHER ...STOP TRIPPING .

    .go find a local Construction company DUMPTRUCK TO DRIVE or garbage truck company,or small mom and pop and apply there N DONT LIE B STRAITFORWARD W THEM...about your CDL Situation.

    Someone...JUST ....SOMEONE MIGHT GIVE U A SECOND CHANCE BEFORE 2,1/2 YEARS FROM NOW ...I SAY BECAUSE I BEEN THERE ..DONE THAT...WORST CASE SCENARIO .

    .u mite have to find a DIFFERENT WAY TO MAKE MONEY...U NEVER KNOW ...U MITE HAVE A BIGGER BLESSING SOMEWHERE ELSE DOWN THE LINE AND DONT KNOW IT.I KNOW U LOVE RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD DIFFERENT STATE DIFFERENT CITYS...I GET ALL THAT I REALLY DO

    BUT stop worrying you'll be JUST FINE,NOW GOD FORBID U KILLED SOMEONE OR DWI OR SOMETHING SERIOUZ ...THEN..then I'd be worried...

    What you need to do RIGHT NOW IS FIND YOURSELF AGAIN..YES WE ALL NEED MONEY TO SURVIVE AND PAY OUR BILLS BUT ITS NOT WORTH KILLING YOURSELF OR HARMING SOMEONE ELSE BEHIND IT..REMEMBER THIS IF U DONT REMEMBER NOTHING ELSE SON

    ."A DEAD MAN CANT SPEND MONEY"

    U NEED TO TAKE A SERIOUS EXAMINATION ON YOUR ,((TRUCKING LIFE)) REMEMBER THAT GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU DROPD off your 1st load,when u 1ST GOT YOUR CDL,REMEMBER HOW EXCITED U WERE TO LET ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW U GOT YOUR CDL.AND HOW PROUD U WERE THEN REMEMNER??? and once you find that FEELING AGAIN...HOLD ON TO IT

    ..and I mean HOLD ON TO IT FOR DEAR LIFE BROTHER AND NEVER,EVER LET IT GO AS LONG AS YOU WANNA DRIVE A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE IN AMERICA...

    Your problem was u got to GREEDY,2COMFORTABLE,2 CONTENT,2 RELAXED...THATS never a good thing,NEVER. U SHUD NEVER LET ANY TRUCKING OWNER,DISPATCHER,FLEET MANAGER,OR ANOTHER DRIVER PUSH U OR ENCOURAGE TO PUT YOUR --WAY OF LIVING-- on the LINE..

    .NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUSTANCES...I DONT CARE IF U WENT TO A TRUCKING SCHOOL AND THEY PAID FOR YOUR CDL ...I MEAN NEVER,UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN

    I GOT A QUESTION FOR U DRIVER---.where's the owner of the company now??
    where's that dispatcher that told u don't worry about your LOGS?
    WHERE ARE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE NOW TO HELP U????

    EVEN IF THEY WERE THERE ..AINT NOTHING --NOBODY--CAN DO ABOUT FMCSA AND DOT...NOTHING...NADA...ZILCH..I DONT CARE IF HE WAS A MILLIONAIRE...FMCSA IS HARD TO GET OFF YOUR BACK ONCE U ### UP.

    ..Now u can take what I say with a GRAIN OF SALT,, OR U CAN TAKE IT FOR WHAT ITS WORTH ...ALL I CAN SAY IS BEEN THERE DONE THAT...N IT AINT DA END OF THE ROAD...Take care and see you on DA road n a few 10-4 I'm out!!

    Unless you truly want to get out of trucking. Lots of work in OK and TX, running the oilfield. Plenty of small companies to choose from, you just need to research and find them. I know a couple of small companies in OK that might take you. :biggrin_25525:

    wait till it's a year old and then reapply. it's never over. at worst, you wait 3 years, keep your nose clean and take care of your MVR, bam back in the saddle.

    I agree with others,its not over.Its a careless ticket.You know you did wrong and we all learn from our mistakes.Yes you may have to wait some time before you're eligible for rehire but not with all companies so don't think for a second your career is over.
