10yrs OTR driver Needs job from central TN

I live in Manchester, TN. Last company I drove for gives false and exagerrated statements when contacted. Have requested DAC report from USIS. Have a response email they will get back to me shortly and case #. Have a lawyer that wrote to company asking them to stop and have copy sent to me. Lawyer told me they can continue this and to sue for slander ++hard to do. Don't want anything to do with lawyers. Just need to get back to work. Never had a problem B 4 this.
