    Hi guys, I've been driving for roughly 1 year at the beginning everything was great I got one speeding ticket with my first company knight I then switched companies to Shaffer and that's when things took a dump, I've had two preventable accidents with them then I had to quit they wouldn't hire me back ( not surprised) I then found roehl and had unexpectedly lost a loved one and had to quit not trying to go back to roehl... out of Phoenix AZ is there anyone you would reccomend that will give me a chance to prove myself out here again? Willing to travel for orientation not willing to relocate.

    With 2 preventables and a ticket within a year, gonna be slim pickens. @Chinatown usually recommends Carolina Cargo and a couple others that are 2nd chance companies. Western Express is another well-known outfit like that.

    I can understand one preventable, or one speeding ticket. But not a combination of the 3 in one year.
    If Swift won’t hire you, that should tell you all you need to know.

    Well knight owns swift and I ####ed knight over so that probably has something to do with it if I had to guess.

    Any 1099 outfit.
    They'll steal half your pay,but you'll have a job.
    Lease purchase anywhere.
    You'll be in the whole half the time and have
    To pay them money.
    The other half of the time you'll get a paycheck.

    Either way there both temporary until your
    Record clears up.

    Since your in Arizona, I know there's a bunch of small
    Outlaw reefer companies pulling produce from the west
    Coast back east.
    Look for the junky reefer trucks parked at the truck stops.
    Knock on the door and talk to the driver.
     
    FlaSwampRat and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this.
