    well unfortunately I can't. I have a stupid following too close from July of 07. I got a bad deal on that ticket. Just put it this way....that's a ticket that comes with an accident and there was NO accident. But I got the ticket and now I have to pay for it 3 and a half years later.

    I am just very nervous that nobody will take me. This is my only blemish on my 5 years. I have no accidents EVER, no speeding tickets, no dui/dwi, and then no criminal record at all. Oh well. I'll move on. Just hopefully someone will still take me. My 3 year MVR is squeaky clean so hopefully some companies insurance only looks back 3 years.

    US Xpress is my other pre-hire and I will be going with them if I can still get in.

    lol my buddy got flown to Dallas then picked up after heading to a hotel. They were in such a hurry to fly him there someone forgot to let the trainer know. He called the trainer and the guy thought he was joking. Trainer made him get a cab to a hotel to pick him up the next day. They did eventually pay for it but he had to twist their arm... lol

    I'll be 28 in 2 months.

    I think US Xpress will take me. They were my 2nd choice anyway. I just really want to hone my skills shifting and I much rather have a 10 speed for future jobs but if worse comes to worse I can take a refresher course and learn again. Shifting came real natural to me in school. By the end of school I wasn't even thinking about it and not even using the clutch.

    Well that doesn't surprise me at all. They fire people for following too close...

    I'm not even worried about it. Not going to let it stress me out. I got a bad deal on a ticket. Following too close tickets aren't given without an accident involved 99.9% of the time. There are a lot of cops out there that are excellent people. Then there are the ones that have a chip on their shoulder and don't do their job right. I am not going to get into it but if I can't get a job because of a 4 year old bs ticket then it's a blessing in disguise. I am getting unemployment checks right now. I will drive my car down to sunny Florida and relax at the beach every day on Uncle Sam's money. It's 2 degrees here in Connecticut today so I don't think I would mind 75 degrees in Ft Myers and fishing all day too much.

    ####... and what % of my income tax goes toward unemployment?

    Jokes aside, that sucks that a ticket like that is holding you back, especially if a cop was just nabbing you to fill his quota, and there wasn't an accident.

    Good luck in your endeavors.
