I spent a year with CRST and had a good safety record. When I was in Portland, Or. in july of 2014 I was called in to do a alcohol test, I was off duty and had been parked for several hours and did not have hours available since my 14 hour clock had expired. So my co-driver had to take me there. I was not currently under dispatch because we had allready comitted ourselfs to our next load the day before, and the total hours we were going to be parked added up to over 30 hours. Long story short, I failed the test. When we arrived at the terminal 3 days later I was terminated. After I arrived back home in Florida I sent for my DAC report. It stated that I was not eligable for rehire due to company violation, DOT offence, failed alcohol test. I have sence hired a company to fix and dispute the report. They told me it sounded like I had a case. Anyway it it supposed to wrap up in a couple of weeks. This morning I recieved a text message from CRST rehire dept. Stating that I am eligable for rehire. My ? is should I wait for the outcome and possibly move on to a better company or get in touch with them?
