As a driver for more than 20 years i thought i finallly found a good company to work for when i went to work for jb in 03 however that was not the case but i believed all the bull they fed me and kept trying to finish my driving career with them. Mid nov i was told by fm there would be no hometime at either thanks giving or chistmas for anyone on her board. As bad as this seems i had grown to expect this from the company and i tried to plan family time at different dates this did not work either as they go me home 3 days later. When it came time to leave back out i had been up for more then 9 hrs when my home phone rang. They had me a load i could pickup anytime b4 midnight this was not aproblem as i was only 2 hrs from pickup i asked when the load deliverd and was ask when i thought i could be there.By the time i got hometime issue set, it was early evening went to pickup load there was paperwork problems so by the time i left the customers i had now been up for 12 hrs plus so i drove back to a truck stop close to my house and took my dot 10 hr break. While doing pretrip insp the next morning i received a number of msgs from my fleet manager.in one of the m she told me i was fired and would never work for them again. This really upset me because as i said the day before by the time i took my DOT 10 break ihad been up more then 14 hrs, and i thought they were #1 in safety. Long story short i was no longer employed by jbhunt so [ I could not drive there eqipment back to there terminal...} this was put on my DAC and now no one will hire me. I filed a dispute but USIS would not take it off. Any legal help would be great
