    Craigslist might have a lot of shady ad's in there but if you use common sense you can weed them out. I have seen some pretty decent jobs posted on there.

    I agree with the idea of fighting against DAC. The more you complain to DAC and have that on record the better chance you have of somebody listening to you. Also I would think the area you live in that there would be some small company that would be interested in you, it may not be what you want but for now you need to get some time under your belt so you can get some good references and maybe the DAC report won't look so bad on your file. Theirs got to be somebody in your area thats needs people, if not seat warmers , try asphalt companys, with the weather warming up their should be construction work all over. It may not be pretty or what you want, but it's a seat and experence. Good luck to ya, it always looks worse just before it gets better!!!!!!!

    Perhaps call Prime and talk to a recruiter and explain the circumstances of your being fired and see what they say. They have company reefer, etc. I don't know you may have to go through there school, or perhaps since you have a CDL already maybe just the driving training after you take tests. They have 2 different training phases to go through.
