    No big deal; several companies will hire you.
    Where do you live; need to know the hiring area you live in; put it on your profile.

    FFrom watching others experiences, it's always best to report everything - even if yoou think you won't get caught. It's that old saying "Integrity is what you do when you think no-one is watching", or whatever.

    No - you'll get hired again. Just be honest, Now, and next time. I'm surprised they fllat out FIRED you for it - seems a bit harsh . . . I've seen worse . . .

    Yeah jbs doesn't care about the cost to fix it so much but not reporting it they will fire you real quick. I have a friend who straddled a jersey barrier with his trailer and had to get towed to a shop. Repairs and tow was over 1k and they didn't even put him on safety probation or whatever they call it. He did report right away though.
