Paschall Truck Lines
Carolina Cargo
Martin Enterprises of the Carolinas
Buel Inc.

 

Those last 3 companies on the list do CA/West Coast/East Coast turnarounds back to back. Don't know if they would hire you or not, but if you have problems finding a job you can ask anyway. Best wishes.

 

Ugh!!

Talk about lousy advice. If you don't have problems enough, the CSA scores of each of these four make mega bottom feeders look like princes. Sign up with any of these losers and you can probably just toss that CDL into the trash. Of course, coming from CRST, you'd feel right at home. CRST may have been your problem in the first place.

CRST fired you as a sacrificial lamb so it can show that it's 'taking action' against drivers with multiple tickets. It sounds like you were falling asleep. Thanks, CRST. You're the classic 'Used, Abused and Disposed of' driver.

It would make a lot more sense, IMO, to look for options that get you out of the almost-out-of-business-due-to-horrible-CSA-score carriers so you can do some MVR rehabilitation. It's going to take three (3) years for some of your problems to drop off your MVR. So you need a three (3) year plan. Some companies look back further.

First, I think you should forget even bothering with Knight and JB because HireRight tracks who looked into your record and you'll start to stack up turn-downs. It just makes you look worse. Drive dump truck or do something else for six months to a year or so. A smaller company with an urgent need might take a chance with you. Or one that uses trucks in their business but is not in the trucking business, per se.

But I don't think you should submit any further apps. Go talk to companies, face-to-face, armed with your HireRight print out (it's free) and a copy of your MVR. And don't fill out an app unless they sound very, very interested in hiring you TODAY. See what you can do about challenging your DAC. See if you can go back to the court where your convictions are and ask if the court could consolidate the citation into one, not two offenses. Look around here on TTR for trucking attys that fight for truck drivers.

But don't even think about going with any of these 4 'recommendations'!!

Ugh!!

 

IMO China tossed himself under the bus. You do what you want. But spend some time thinking about how you got into this situation. Look at each of these company's CSA and CRST's.

There's a connection there. For the sake of your CDL, you need to get away, not further into the likes of these.

I think under the circumstances you may have trouble finding another trucking job for awhile anyway.The short tme you have been driving you have too many marks on your record plus getting fired.That's a double whammy.

 

Yes many companies do have bad csa scores but its not all the companies fault.Drivers have bad scores that reflects the companies scores.All because drivers can't say no.But trucking is all about money and think they're never going to get caught in whatever violation they pull,carriers and drivers.
