    He never said what he was doing was legal. Maybe he wanted to go straight.

    We did not assume, YOU SAID you made 5k this week. Now if some weeks it is not, then the correct way to have said that would be, "I can make up to 5k most weeks".



    Went back to my old job. Made 5k this week and said the hell with it all.
     
    Tonythetruckerdude Thanks this.

    If you completed CDL school that means you have a DOT medical card and CDL.
    Should have gone to a company that doesn't require another physical.
