Getting my second trucking job advice

Ok so I went through trucking school in Florida and was placed with a national carrier with no touch freight OTR throughout the country, the deal was if I drive for them for so many years they pay off my CDL training loan at 0 cost to me. Well I have worked for them for just over 3.5 years so the loan was paid off, but during my first 3.5 years with them there were some challenges. now I am searching for my second company to work for with my Class A CDL license, I am not a owner operator and want to work for a reputable company that treats their drivers right.

I was hiring on with a regional carrier out of Atlanta Ga just last week, I drove up there went through all their hiring processes and was in the truck ready to get on the road when they asked me to come into the office? Apparently my previous employer had sent them a incident report for my past 3 plus years while driving for them, before I get into what was in the report the company man said they still wanted me as a driver but had to get the boss to approve my hire.

In their incident/safety report they had things like turning right/turning left? driving down a cul-de-sac, being pulled out soft ground. all incidents there was no damage to my truck or trailer or other property. I called my old employer to discuss this report, they said they couldn't discuss anything with me because I was a ex employee. I have no accidents, no tickets of any kind, no drugs, no alcohol reports of any kind?

Any advice on how to deal with this incident/safety report with a future employer would be appreciated.
