I was promised and guaranteed employment by Swift Transportation and the United States Truck Driving School when I applied for admission in May. I had a felony at the time and told the school's representative about it and was told "that's not a problem, Swift will hire you." So I signed up to get a CDL and quit two jobs to go to school. The instructor I had was fine but when I went to a three day orientation hosted by Swift in July I was sent home a day and a half into it due to my background check.
I have been unemployed for over a year, finally took care of my felony in May and still can't find a company to hire me. I already owe the school $6,000-$7,000 and they want me to take a 'refresher course' due to not driving recently. The catch is I have to pay them upfront to take the course due to my first loan being past due... DUH! Of course it's past due. If I have no money coming in, none will go out. And to top this whole thing off, the DAC has wrong information on me that is costing me more time and hassle.
So now I not only have ONE company to fight with, I have another one who holds the key on getting me a job or not!
