Accident

How did you manage to roll a truck and not get a police report? Even if you're not considered at fault a big truck on its side generally warrants them writing it up.

 

Since I am not fully aware of a "country road", I do not know if that means it has no known name registered on file with the state?
Maybe the employer cannot recoup his loss due to this and when you called in sick, that gave him the perfect timing to fire you?

I dunno, I wish I were a truck stop lawyer, or at least more knowing of all the circumstances in your situation.

Sorry you got fired, get a new DMV report in about one month and check it out. Sometimes it takes at the very least 1 month for things to show up on your DMV, maybe longer.

Now for you former employer to report that to prospective NEW employers is against the law. All they can legally say is when you started work there and when you quit, maybe your job duties as well.

I'd seek out legal advice with the labor dept on this, they may actually be your best source for information?

 

There's companies that will hire you; put your location on your profile so we know the hiring area you live in.

 

Though that may be what their lawyers recommend they can say more. It varies by state.

For example, Virginia

§ 8.01-46.1. Disclosure of employment-related information; presumptions; causes of action; definitions.

A. Any employer who, upon request by a person's prospective or current employer, furnishes information about that person's professional conduct, reasons for separation or job performance, including, but not limited to, information contained in any written performance evaluations, shall be immune from civil liability for furnishing such information, provided that the employer is not acting in bad faith. An employer shall be presumed to be acting in good faith. The presumption of good faith shall be rebutted if it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the employer disclosed such information with knowledge that it was false, or with reckless disregard for whether it is false or not, or with the intent to deliberately mislead.

B. In a civil action brought against an employer for disclosing the information described in subsection A, if the trier of fact determines the employer acted in bad faith, punitive damages may be awarded, as provided by § 8.01-38.1.

C. As used in this section, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

"Employee" means any person, paid or unpaid, in the service of an employer.

"Employer" means any person, firm or corporation, including the Commonwealth of Virginia and its political subdivisions, and their agents, who has one or more employees or individuals performing services under any contract of hire or service, express or implied, oral or written.
