Ex boss causing problems

If he is lying, you can sue him for defamation.

Unfortunately, defamatory references seem to be industry-standard in trucking. Most trucking bosses are idiots who push drivers to the brink so most drivers quit on very non-amicable terms, usually during a major blowout where the driver just can't take it any more and they tell the boss exactly what they really think about his terrible behaviour. There's very high turnover in trucking so it's practically impossible to avoid the bad reference thing if you are a truck driver.

My advice would be to avoid trucking like the plague. It's a cesspool of low, low standards, lawlessness, bad references, bullying and harassment. For those of you that have made the awful career error of becoming a truck driver I urge you to fight back against bad truck company bosses and the general lawlessness in trucking. You can read up on defamation law on the internet and represent yourself in court, without the cost of a lawyer (what truck driver can afford a lawyer?).

You can also leave that employer off your résumé and say you were doing something else at the time. For instance, you could say you were doing something more reputable than trucking like being in prison or getting hooked on fentanyl and prostituting yourself on a street corner or anything other than trucking.

 

Fentanyal will just kill you outright. You wont have time to be hooked.

It's not that enjoyable either. Unless it is being delivered by IV in very specific needful situations which can bring out bigger medical emergencies.

As far as the leaving off employer you will discover at some point over time other employers can discover that you worked for this one.

I got one employer thats really bad but the passage of time and American law requiring a cleaning of the DAC after 10 years renders that blacklist irrelevant. Ancient history.

depending on where you are that can qualify as STALKING, I worked for an IGNORANT PRICK like that
as well, for over 8 years , thinks he's the only game in town, I also have friends from there he did that kind of stuff to as well, besides me. Please leave future comments if you make any headway towards a remedy
for the rest of us , and yes it is a very common thing

 

Not a very good friend in my opinion. He should've ripped the $100 bill in half and thrown it back at the guy before telling him to F off and not return, not take his money and tell you to leave for ANY length of time. Real friends aren't for sale at any price, not even for the little things like that. If he can't have your back when it doesn't really matter, you can't really count on him when it does.

 

Our money is made of plastic now... can't rip it...:/
Should of taken the $100. Then told you to leave. But when you don't leave. Then he just shrug his shoulders. "Meh, I told him." Then both of you go out for beers later with that money.

 

I totally support the not very good friend.

That 100 should have been ripped and the ex told off.

Some friend.
