 Former employer lies
Hello, I am new to truckingboards, so forgive me if I'm not posting this in the right place.
I have a bit of a problem. I am a class b driver, and was a city transit bus driver for about a year and a half. They are the only company that I've driven for and I obtained my class b through the company. Things had gotten progressively worse as far as the equipment which I drove. But in most instances it wasn't a matter of safety.
However, one day I was driving and my left front tire blew. So I stopped the bus and called dispatch. They wanted me to continue on route with a busload of passengers on the flat. I refused to to obvious safety and liability reasons. They sent another driver out with another bus, and brought me back to the yard and fired me for insubordination.
So I decided to take a break from driving for a while after that.
Now I am ready to get another job either driving a bus or straight truck of some sort, but have found out that the transit bus company is reporting to my potential employers that I was given a random drug screen and that it was a refusal to test.
The only thing I can guess other than them out and out lying about it is that later on that day I was pulled by the computer for a random before it was entered in that I was no longer employed with them.
I got a copy of my DAC report, and fortunately there is nothing about it on there. However, there is still the issue of the release of drug and alcohol information forms that are sent to previous employers.
Does anybody have any tips/suggestions? I love to drive, and would really like to be able to drive for a living again.
Oh, and BTW, it was about a year and a half ago that this happened.
Thanks a bunch  |
