    If @Chinatown doesn't show up soon, go thru some of his posts. Click on his name, his profi box comes up, and click on the "posts" button. It will give you a list of all he's helped people with. They are sorted by date, but scroll down and read the thread titles and such. I'm sure with a little fingertip grease you'll find some useful info that way. Good luck Driver. I could help you if you were in Ohio. . . that sucks tho.

    Sorry to hear that. I would just throw a bunch of applications out there and see what happens. You will get call backs just be honest an explain to them is all I can say. Just don't let some these people on here preach to you about what you did wrong. I work local NYC all the boroughs I know it's a battle everyday to keep from getting into trouble. Keep your head up and put those applications out there and try not to get discouraged.

    A rear-end accident is a BIG deal in this industry. Doesn't matter that you just "tapped" his bumper. It looks just as bad as a rollover in the eyes of a safety director. Your options will be limited.

    Try Paschall Truck Lines and if that doesn't work try Carolina Cargo and Florida Beauty Express.
