Companies That Hire w/ Unemployement Gaps
Hi There, first time poster..
I really appreciate the knowledge many of you have about the trucking industry and I'm really thankful for the help I've received researching here. But I haven't had any luck finding an answer to this question.
Maybe some of you can help guide us here.
I'm looking for a training company that will accept someone with a 'spotty' employment record.
In the last three years I've worked about 1 year total between about 6 jobs.
It's not an impressive record, I know.
I was also unemployed for the 7 years prior to those 3.
For everyone curious, I was involved in a work accident 10 years ago as a courier. While standing in a parking lot, I was run over by a semi. For 5 years and 11 months I had a torn disc in my spine that kept me from working. I lost my normal driving job, my websites, and my family as a result.
I turned to Christ for help and almost 4 years ago I was completely healed. From one second to the next I went from being 100% disabled to jumping, running and shouting with joy. It was awesome, epic, and completely life changing to how I look at the world.
Swift was willing to give me a shot, but I was a little too honest on their application about some prior, legal where I lived, activity that I did in December and I was disqualified.
I can pass a hair test today, no problem. I also learned I to be more understanding when I read: illegal drugs to include marijuana; and realize, if it were legal for me it wasn't illegal, and obviously not what they meant.
If you know any companies that are willing to work with someone who has an ugly employment history, I'd love to hear who it is and what they would need to cover the unemployment gaps. A notarized letter, references?
Thanks for helping and have a blessed day!

Thanks for the link Daniel.
My back pain is a thing of the past though. I no longer have any issues at all.
I went from not being able to brush my teeth to doing concrete work and installing glass doors(they're heavy!)
I haven't had any pain since it was healed through prayer.
It was nothing short of a miracle and completely amazing.
