    I could be wrong but I believe they were a permit service. I think they went out of business several years ago. I guess you could call the number and find out.

    Best regards

    Don't fret about those busting your chops , they won't remain perfect forever.
    They too will make a mistake one day.

    The 60 miles is irreverent compared to being fired.

    If there is not more to the story than what we have been told then just take a lesson from the experience.
    You should be a better driver for it.

    They are still in business. They will get your tractor licensed, do fuel reports, things of that nature

    it is illegal for an employer to leave stranded away from your home terminal. check your state laws. You can get reemburst for your time and expiences to get back to the yard. some state allow you to sue for lost wages also.

    I've never heard of such a law...especially not where truck drivers are involved. This industry is notorious for leaving drivers stranded. Hell, just look at what happened when Arrow shut it's doors right before Christmas a couple years ago...
