    Go on the Internet to some websites (such as the TTR homepage), enter your information and hit submit. Your phone will blow up with recruiters calling. One of them is bound to say yes.

    And don't forget to apply directly to Carolina Convict. They may say No, but they might say yes.

    You'll probably have a hard time finding a job until the wreck comes off your record. A rollover is considered by most companies as a serious accident. Keep in mind when you do get another, its the drivers responsibility to make sure the truck is operationally safe. If theres no brakes on it, refuse to drive it, theres nothing they can do to you if you do, other than fire you-then you could report them to D.O.T. if they did that. If you drive an unsafe truck, the responsibility is on you as to what happens with it. Good Luck. @Chinatown might be able to give you some ideas?

    You probably don't want a lecture right now, but @justa_driver makes a good point. The next time you have a maintenance issue, you're going to have to get a set and refuse to move the truck until it is resolved. Hopefully this incident showed you the consequences of not doing so.

    Yea wasn't trying to lecture him by no means but I would not want to hear of him getting killed because of faulty equipment. No truck or paycheck in this world is worth losing your life over. Good Luck to you.
