    You know what the weird part is. It's rare when I see good things about these mega carriers on the Internet, but when I ask people in person, they all seems to make it and actually enjoy what they do. In Werner you start out at .31 now, with decent equipment. Most graduates get brand new trucks, but unfortunately I wasn't one of them.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    .26 is better than .10 from Carolina Cargo. I will check out Werner. And as for leaving my disabled wife, don't post anything unless it's useful information! Thanks for the help guys! I'll keep you posted.

    Thanks man, Carolina Cargo is the only company that has said yes and is not giving me the run around. CRST says I'm able to be rehired, but they haven't run my mvr. I have called back multiple times. And I keep getting the run around. All the other companies have told me straight up no. Schneider said I can work for them in May when one of my tickets drops off. But I can't wait that long. I think I've made up my mind. The only problem is I need to come up with the money to get myself to SC. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for the info guys.

    Find something else to do for one month and take Schneider up on their offer. You will be light years ahead of CC.

    Work at a fast food restaurant, pick up cans from the side of the road or greet at Wal Mart. Any of them jobs will pay as much or more then CC.

    How does one pay higher not to get it added to their record?

    Isn't that some sort of scam or bribe?

    Hitchhike! Stand on a ramp by a truckstop and shouldn't take long to catch a ride.

    Apparently in Indiana one of your options is to plead guilty under the Safe Driver Diversion program and it wont be listed on your record or reported to your home state. But, there is exceptions. One exception is if you received multiple citations during one traffic stop. The OP said he received three tickets so the court should not have allowed him to plead guilty under that program.
