    Nice attitude. I see you subscribe to the "nothing is ever my fault its a conspiracy to hold me back" way of thinking.

    Not going to get anywhere thinking like that. If you didnt get picked for the basketball team, its not because somebody wanted to "screw you over", its because you sucked. (And I think its pathetic you are dwelling on that 14 years later.)

    If you cant drive a truck, nobodys gonna pick you for that either.

    Haha yeah right Harvey. I had more points, assists, blocks, steals, and rebounds than anyone. Plus it was a small town I played against every single player after school at the rec center who made the team and beat them all the time. I think I wasn't picked because the coach needed to make room for the police chief's son, one of the teacher's kids, his veteran players that already knew his system so he didn't have to coach anyone new, etc. You act like there aren't people out there who are amazing but cease to get the spotlight. There are great actors like Edward Norton who are not praised by Hollywood everyday and in the newspaper daily.

    I am just one of those people who do not get a shot regardless of the reason but when I do things on my own and no one can stand in my way I am successful (like my programming business that I have been doing for the past 12 years). I am just ready to have a job where I can work my shift and enjoy my off time. I haven't had a day off in 12 years and all business owners can relate to that. I do not toot my own horn irl but online I wanted to explain why I feel uncomfortable about getting a job due to past experiences which is the only reason why I mentioned those things. Man I cannot wait to get out on the road, this is the reason I do not like interacting with sensitive people.

    WHEN you fail at trucking, I guarantee you will claim it was somebody elses fault.

    There is no "I" in "team". I'm willing to bet that's why you weren't picked.

    If it doesn't affect your driving, and you have been cleared, no need to disclose it at all.

    You could pull a handgun out and demand that they hire you. (It worked for me?)

    Don't take this the wrong way but stop thinking so much.
