    Apply online to companies you're interested in. They'll surely contact you and let you know what you need to do to get back to work. I'm assuming you have a US cell phone number or something, not sure they'd call applicants from China but who knows. Although you may owe Central for your training, you certainly can go to work as a driver for someone else. I know Knight hired people that broke contracts and how the heck would anyone ever pay off their debt anyway if they couldn't work. It's not like you were an indentured servant to Central.

    [​IMG] KTV Girls


    This picture is inside a KTV nght club. I don't like the clubs; the music is way too loud for me. Lots more good places other than KTV. Beautiful girl friends are easy to get in China. They're everywhere; in your condo building, grocery store, even some nice ones in the foot massage parlors that are uneducated or illiterate and just trying to make a living. They came from rural farms and fishing villages looking for a better life. I've met a few that are married and their husbands are migrant workers in other cities and never send money home and maybe come home for one week a year. We do what we have to do to survive and keep it in perspective. Just be polite and respectful. Single man's paradise.

    Picture above won't show, but check the website : singledudetravel

    Sorry Pattyj, but this wont stop him from getting a job, He will still be able to get hired somewhere, I agree, he didn't get fired for following company policies or safety policies, there's got to be more, with out trying to pass judgement That he did something wrong, maybe he had a bad trainer, I have seen a few out there, that ain't got one ounce of commonsense.

    It sounds to me you had a problem with the trainer right of the bat. The way you've posted your problem I would guess you interjected the "safety rules" on some of your training. The trainer was most likely wrong and you showed her up and she got pissed. I would have liked to see something like that because I'll bet that so called driver trainer didn't have a lot of experience with the rules and laws. You're coming up on the very important part of your training and getting the most out of your time is crucial. Be cool and if you see times going bad just write down the problem and find out later on the results.

    I wouldn't worry about not getting work. You may have to work harder at job seeking but get out there and do it. Let the companies know you want work and they just might remember your face when they go through the applications. I would save the internet for the last way to apply. I would think you'll always be indebted on your child support. You'll want to pay that anyway. Companies do use this in evaluating your standing. Besides you already know all this and I'm sure you're taking care of your kids. The loan for truck training might be another thing. You know you've sign your responsibilities away when you started school. I'm sure they have gone through all the legal channels to get repaid. I would make arrangements so it can not be used to judged you. You may have to hits the bricks a little harder but there's a job out there. It's just a matter on how you go about in finding it. Good luck.

    Thanks gashauler but my wife and I are happily married no need for child support LOL . The wifes having the baby in June and hopefully will join me in the states by the end of next year. To everyone thanks for the info and advice I will be back state side at the end of January have to get my DOT physical and refresher course then renew my license, after all that apply to as many jobs as I can and pick the best offer. I still think Schneider teams is the best bet for money the first year. A member on here is doing it with his son and seems to be doing really well.
