[QUOTE="Hydra_Kitt, post: 12133974, member: 337114"]Hello, all. I have a bit of an issue. I have lurked threads of days' past here but the ones I've seen aren't my issue exactly so I decided to make an account just to post this. I was fired from Western Express in February for a safety violation (failing to report an accident on time). The accident in question was I hit a fire hydrant with my trailer wheels while turning. No injury, no damage to anything but the hydrant, and I paid the fine. The problem is the termination is murdering me. I tried applying to companies when I was fired and no one wanted to touch me with a 10 foot pole then, and now almost 8 months later nobody still wants to take me on. I know there are a lot of trucking companies, but it seems all the ones I can think of have said no. Is there any hope? Should I wait four more months then try again? Should I throw in the towel? I would really appreciate some advice here. I feel I've learned my lesson. It was a stupid, boneheaded mistake that I feel I'm being overly punished for, is all.[/QUOTE]
