    Thank you! This has truly ruined my life. I got used to the pay and have never had a collision in my entire life. Everyone here is more focused on finding my wrong doing when even the COPS THEMSELVES along with 6 witnesses has not found anything wrong. SWIFT DIDNT EVEN mention my speed they gave me crap about stopping my trailer 2 seconds AFTER A YELLOW LIGHT. Thanks for that I needed it . I have 3 kids and a wife and it feels like I let them down before SWIFT I had a job for 14 years and decided to do something different that I would enjoy instead of hate everyday of my life and they slapped me in the face. I will keep the report and I have also written to SWIFT WITH THE REPORT and my award letter of unemployment because no misconduct could be found on my end.
     
    D.Tibbitt, Voodoo Pyg and Muddydog79 Thank this.

    Relax man. You gotta get out of your feelings. One accident isn't the end of the world. There are companies that will bring you in. If you say exactly where you are in Texas, then @Chinatown can point you in a direction. He has the answers. In the meantime, just apply to any company and every company you see that's hiring. It only takes one yes.

    Swift was useful in getting you seat time so you can move up the ladder.
    Pull your DAC, look for yourself how it is reported. Don't go by what some turd behind a desk tells you as pure truth.

    @RuckerTrucker

    If you have family and don't mind being physically active, look into local work. That can include dry bulk, LTL jobs like P&D or Linehaul, dump truck, roll-offs, US Mail, etc. Dump and construction are unlikely to care about a DAC.

    There's a useful forum here for it... LTL and Local Delivery Trucking Forum

    If you have tanker and hazmat, 1 year is often enough to haul fuel, see if Coastal or one of the entry companies is hiring near you.

    There's a forum here for that as well... Tanker, Bulk and Dump Trucking Forum

    Take it from some of us,Swift isn’t the end of the world. If they’re that petty to fire over something that wasn’t your fault then that’s on them.
    There are MANY horror stories about that company here and elsewhere(actually too many to count) on how they’ve treated their drivers.
    That being said,one door closes another one with opportunity will open in its place.

    I read a quote somewhere that said each job pays two ways, money now, and in experience for your next and better job.
