am i being jerked around here?

i was just about to finish up my traning with a company last november when i had a absessed tooth that made me get home to get it fixed.. when i called the company to ask a question a employee told me i was fired because i had to go home... 3 months l8er as the econnomy was in freefall i called the companyand found out i was lied to and i hadent been fired but only needed a form from my doctor stating i could return to work.. but by that time it was too late....

over the past year ive spend a few months unemployed, and the rest of the time employed in a couple non CDL jobs.. as it seemed no starter companies were hiring... now from the posts on the various employment websites it seems companies are hiring again.. so i put my ap in with a trucking company..

i fully expect to be forced to take a refresher corus as i thought it was required... but the next day i get a call from a recruter.. going over my APP and employment history.. and i ask the big question.. "will i need to go take a refresher corus" her reply... "no aslong as you can pass the road test at orientation we will put you on with a trainer"

its been just under a year sence i was behind the wheel of a semi and i know im gona be rusty but i could probibly pass a road test... although i know i need to do some heavy studying of my pretrip and 11/14 hour rules..

but my question to you is am i currently being lyed to? i dont want to mention company names as im sure they all troll these forums and i dont want to blow my chances.. but it is a big company.. and i really need and want this job..

additionaly having had the 4 weeks otr as a tranee last year and having talked to countless drivers in terminals and on the road i know the ins and outs.. i know what BS goes on.. and im fine with it.. ive got no wife or kids to tie me down, im equaly adept functioning at night or durring the day.. i actualy prefer driving at night when its not raining and i could live on the road and be happy.. i have a high stress tolerance and a high BS thresh hold.. im only 29 and evaluating all the pro's and cons being a truck driver is what i see myself as 30 years from now.. in short im addicted to the big rig.. i still dream about driving and have found it impossible to take a job that doesnt involve driving my car.. being confined to a office or other inside work environment has become intolerable to me ever sence my experience driving last year..

as far as the job.. my background and DMV checks both came back clean and im now waiting on them to verrify my employment then they schedjule me for orientation..

additionaly could someone list all the companies who are currently hiring new drivers? incase it doesnt work out with this company. i have my CDL with hazmat.. but no recent experience.. only 1 speeding ticket in the past 3 years 82 in a 65 in my personal car (aquired before i got my CDL), no accidents,

 

well.. by ins and outs i meant.. bad dispachers, unofficialy being pushed to run illegal, dealing with trailors that have something missing/broken that the previous driver didnt bother gettin fixed, bad directions from dispatch, time constraints, trafic jams from construction/ accidents, never getting home when promised, being lyed to by the company, dealing with ignorent or allready in a bad mood shipers/receavers, bad drivers in cars and ocasionly other trucks, the list is endless but more or less the inside BS that nobody outside of the industry has a clue about that often causes new and experienced drivers alike to get fed up and quit or do something causing them to be fired..
