Not hired because I was on my phone during training/unloading

What? When were you in your phone? The whole time you were getting training? While driving? I don't get it otherwise.

 

Are you afraid the principal of the tanker school is going to tattle on you or something?

 

Don’t volunteer information. It isn’t a DOT violation, just a company policy. Employers are also restricted as to the information they can give about former employees. Plenty of drivers get jobs after being fired, it’s a driver’s market. Best of luck.

 

IF you are asked a specific question about why you left a job you had better have an answer. Don't try to hide behind any none existent privacy laws either. You might very well be asked to sign a release for JBH to get this information as a CONDITION of employment. Look, don't volunteer any information not asked for, just be ready to answer the simple question. Why did you leave? If you were terminated in a lot of situations the new employer has the right to ask, and you are required to answer it honestly.
