    Once again..... stay away from the mega-carriers and you won't have to worry about your DAC getting damaged. Nor will you have to worry about crappy qualcomm's or paying them back for orientation.

    Chances are if you get a job right away this won't affect you. It usually takes a few months before stuff that gets reported shows up on your DAC. So use this to your advantage. Also, stay away from the mega-carriers! (this is the third post I have read in the last five minutes where a new driver has been burned by a mega-carrier and now has a tough time finding another driving job)

    For the benefit of your yourself and for your success in the future, this time aim for the smaller carriers...

    BTW, you could have answered your own question about a company's pet policy prior to agreeing to work for them by making a phone call or looking them up online. Be prepared to apply the same standard to your own lack of investigation that you apply to other people.

    Previous comments are spot on. You won't last long in this business unless you toughen up considerably.

    Kinda harsh getting after someone who didnt like a few things about a company and found a better fit for himself.
