trying to find a job after accident

And you really think that advice is going to help the OP? Aside from the fact it's a ridiculous statement and rather useless, what does it solve. It's called a mistake and we can all make them, I doubt he was out hot rodding his truck and then it all went down hill.

 

A mistake that cost him a job and possibly a career.

 

Captain obvious,..

Again,.. how does that remark help the OP?

Instead of focusing on the negative,.. how about something positive. I have no doubt he has been through hell and back with his family, friends and anyone who would listen over what happened to him.

Instead of rubbing it in,.. post a helpful suggestion.

I helped. By telling him to find another line of work. All the wishing and asking for a miracle isn't going to feed his kids. Another job will.

 

So why was my post deleted for bickering? ARENT all the other posts trying to bash us bickering as well?

Ill agree with Joseph. Asking and hoping for a miracle won't feed your family. Another job will. If you cannot find another job driving a semi, that's not the end of the world. The OP can still operate a forklift, and likely make more money doing that than he would driving a truck.

 

This is not the political section.

Stay on topic and be helpful. Or at least suggestive for the sake of the OP.

Its too close to Christmas, bashing and stating the obvious is not what the OP needs right now.

I dont want to go back and forth on this taking this post off topic.

If you want to discuss this with me, take it to pm's.

OP. have you tried knocing on some smaller company doors? i got on with a 16 truck company. it will be hard. but dont give up. it took me 3 months of searching. if this is what you REALLY want to do. you will keep on hunting.

 

i hope op still is here. theres guys at my company that rolled over the truck more than once in their career at swift/central and are still here. go ahead and keep applying. someone stated even intermodal wont touch him. bull crap. come to chicago and see the guys pulling these containers many have multiple accidents and tickets on their records. your good man. youll find something. if your willing to come to chicago. http://www.loadmatch.com/directory/drayage.cfm?city_code=CHI call the numbers here i bet you they will take you. and you know what most if not all are no force dispatch. dont got to listen to me. but i just feel bad because it was a mistake and it happens.

 

I know this is a kind of dead thread now, but didn't this cat say he is now driving 20 hrs a day and sleeping 3hrs. Some of you folks need to stop pulling the mistake card for negligent behavior. You can't feed your family from jail dude.
