    So with my incidents and not disclosing all of them even though new company said they talked to old company. Should i skip orientation even tho new company is top notch especially with recent pay increases.. no matter what i can always come back to old company they want me no matter what im probably their best on time runner guy and trainer.. so it offsets any incidents i may have although im planning on not having any.... if i left out incidents is new comp able to dac me for something crazy like falsification of application. I told them the truth on every thing else... recruiter caught me off gaurd and i got into a fender bender after i already sent in application.

    With all these posts, you gotta go now. Either way whatever happens we have to hear about it.

    For that kind of money, I'd gamble and go to orientation.

    Wait what? You do realize gross is before taxes and such?

    So you were making roughly .28/ mile? Wow, I'm speechless

    Sure, a company can fire you for falsifying a job application. Some may just put, "Failure to comply with company rules" or something like that.
    It's your call though, but I'd try it for that much difference in pay.
    I'm not advising you to do it, but I would.
