Unemploymet, New Job Leads

Chinatown: Thanks

RebelYeller5:Thanks, PHEW, I'll ask legal aid just to be sure, and not sweat it so much.




Everyone else:
Thanks, as stated, I KNOW what I did wrong, MY FAULT. NOT CREs. I got advice from another driver, and went back over my logs to convert all those 5-10 minute "on duties" that Powder Joints mentioned, sitting online at the pump waiting, getting out to "kick the tires," stopping on an offramp to check my bearings, Ring phone dropped signal, etc . Problem was MINE, not CRE's, I did not GOAL, I was too fast to save 70 hr time. Being new, I always felt, go NOW, just say YES, hit the road NOW, without thinking or planning ahead. Lots of swaps, never seemed enough time to stop and actually plan a trip, just get the route copied, GO, plan my first stop, the rest later.

I asked for another chance with CRE, they said NO. Glad I'm not there, not happy with how. I WILL fault CRE for training you enough to drive forward, but...(know what I mean?)

Chinatown: I drove reefers for CRE. But, thanks again, that helps. Airgas was on my list, also beverage companies (beer, I could deliver BEER!!!), and LA is lousy with gravel and cement Cos . And as I looked online at Monster, Careerbuilder, etc., I found LOTS of places looking for newbies, I just gotta put on the Blue Parrot, start the fun!

Thanks all, any more local LA, CA leads would be helpful, even send straight to me.

So, this was fun! FIRST, read the thread above....I submitted to, and got a call from Melton Recruiting. I explained up front my situation above, and the recruiter said, "cheating on your logs..." I cut her off and said, "Wait, let's be clear, I was NOT cheating, you are allowed to go back and edit your logs. What I did was take bad advice, I went back and made stupid mistakes." To which she replied, "You cheated..."

Just FYI

 

Sorry for the delay, but they are good now. I got an email within the hour from another recruiter apologizing for the improper comments of the previous recruiter. So, I accepted their apology, it is over with as far as I am concerned.

 

So, I got hurt, am applying for unemployment, which was denied due to firing. I got advise that I could win on appeal. What should my response be? I was thinking bad training, anyone have any ideas?
