I don't have another phone number but I did just get a call from a company who said that it won't be a problem as long as I can pass a road test so fingers crossed that it works out.if it doesn't I'll try that

That may not be the case. I was turned down by ABF twice for unknown reasons. 3 of my former coworkers of all were hired and i use them as references. I went in, was interviewed, took a road test and it was sent for a drug screen. The terminal manager basically told me I was hired, but the human resource department at their headquarters denied me. When I inquired for the reason, they wouldn't tell me. They sent me a letter stating that it was strictly a business decision and that I am welcome to reapply at a later time.

Some way companies are finding out about not scanning items at Walmart.

They could be sending wally their verification forms and they say not rehirable.

I wasn't able to save any money up because I was trying to pay off the debt I'd been in for years. I almost had it paid off too, but I wasn't there long enough to get it fully taken care of. And I had thought I had scanned those items, I didn't even realize it until my management pulled me aside. It was a tiny mistake that somehow ended up completely messing up my life and I really don't feel like arguing about it. I fully expect Walmart to fight it but I really don't have much in the way of options right now.

My advice, try to find a local job that pays by the hour. You should be happy none of those Mega carriers hired you.

Walmart did say I'm non-rehireable, but I disputed the firing and the corpo I talked to said that my termination was described as "policy violation and gross misconduct" so it's not listed as theft at least

The one I am currently talking to is a local too, which is pretty nice, they're just in the next town over from me basically. And tbf, I wasn't exactly enthused about driving for a mega, but right now my only concern is getting my year in so I'm not stuck looking at second chance megas. And I do want to eventually do OTR for a little while(probably just long enough to see the 48), but hopefully it can be with someone a little bit better than a mega

LOL, no we're still good friends and he kept encouraging me to reapply. I'm kinda glad anyway because I found a local tanker job for a private carrier. It's the perfect job for me and hopefully I'll retire from here.
