Thanks for the Public Service Announcement

 

Is a former employer allowed to tell future employers WHY a driver was terminated?

 

Why would they not be? This is still America and the 1st amendment still applies.
Oh there are laws against lying of course, but generally if it's true anyone can say anything to anyone else.

 

They might be able to tell any on trucking but not in any other industry,
In any other industry if they say WHY you got fired ,
They better be able to prove it , or you can sue them and easily win a judgement .

 

Which is exactly what I just said. If it's true they can say anything they want..

This is every industry and every business in America.
Also, no they don't need to prove it. The person that is bringing the lawsuit has to prove they were lying. It's basic libel and defamation law at that point.
