Profile For Kimberly H.

So September 2022 I got off the road after driving with Prime for a year. Drove Heavy equipment (concrete mixer, and garbage truck) since then.

I got into an sideswiping accident in March, and received a ticket. The job at the time told me I didn't have anything to be concerned with because they would take care of it. Because they didn't see in the video that it was my fault being that the car was over the median line causing my stairs to hit the back passenger side of the vehicle.

The had me downgrade trucks, gave me a written notice, and made me attend a safe driving class as a reprimand. A day after I finished the safety class the Asst. Dir. called me into the office, and told me with the new policies taking affect, and having to do cutbacks being that I was still within my probationary period with the company during the accident, they were letting me go.

The day I was fired I found out that the Supervisor lied about taking care of the ticket and my license got suspended temporarily. The next day I paid that ticket. When I went to get it straightened out I found it that the supervisor never sent the video to the trooper to verify that I wasn't at fault. So that's why he put me at fault. At this point all he'll broke loose and I've been stuck in this wormhole of a situation. Well, I decided I didn't want to stay local, and wanted to get back OTR I started looking for work.

Out of all the companies, and there's been at least 20 so far, there's 3 strikes going against me:

1. I've been off the road too long. Companies want 6 months-1 year tractor trailer experience within 3 years. One company said that I could take a refresher course to get started but they aren't hiring from Florida.

2. The ticket is recently received for the sideswipe

3. The suspension from the company not being upfront with me about taking care of the ticket.

Technically, there's 4 reasons, the fact that I stay in Florida as well. Even though it's 30-45 mins from the Stateline of Alabama, and Georgia.

If companies aren't turning me down for one they are turning me down for another.

Is there any hope for me outside of waiting the 6 months to a year to get hired?

At this point, I'm pretty much open to anything.
