    My husband applied at Celadon and thought he was hired and thank God they didn't hire him as they are completely and unconditionally unforgiving and vindictively evil. They used something against my husband that happened 35 years ago. We are not talking a few years, we are talking 35 years and that is not a mistake. We are shocked as no other company has ever had an issue that would bring back the memory in my husband's mind. He didn't disclose that he stole a sander and chain 35 years ago as he forgot about it and besides he thought the judge threw it out of court since he followed the judges orders and paid restitution and got his diploma as well as served four months probation. And now Celadon will not hire him and has threatened to put it on his DAC report that he falsified the application. Can you believe it? We cannot believe they could get away with that. If I am not mistaken, truth is not a defense for a malicious act if they do put it on his DAC. Does anyone have any comments about this situation in any way? My husband has never been in any kind of trouble like that again. Celadon said they spent $300 dollars on checking my husband out and no wonder they spent so much with going back 35 years. It wasn't my husband's fault they spent that much money and now Celadon wants him to pay by trying to stop him from getting another truck driving job. Wow! We are still in awe about this.

    Also, if you get hired with Celadon, you better not make any mistakes as they will fire you at the drop of a hat. The recruiter told me that if a driver is charged with anything, they will fire the driver as the driver had no business being charged. What that means is if you have any kind of accident and you are charged with it, you will be fired because of it. Like the Bible says, those who are without sin, let him cast the first stone. Well, Celadon expects you to be perfect and if you fall short of that, they will fire you. Unbelievable!
