Complaint Review: Maverick Trucking

After trucking school, Maverick was the first company I called to set up and orientation with. After the one week of training, I got an offer. Papers was signed and I was ready to start on the road with my trainer. That night I got really sick, nose bleeds, migraine, body aches, could not function at all. Missed orientation the following morning by 1 hour and was told to pack my things and leave. They said "I should have called to tell someone". Kurt who was the lead man was out due to surgery for his shoulder. I didn't have anyone else's number. When you are sick, do you really think to call and say "I'm going to be late". I tried everything to get myself to orientation so they could see that I was sick, but the 1 hour late was more important to them. After coming to terms that perhaps, it's not where I was supposed to be I applied at several other places and have been denied because it is making me look like I'm some type of looser who just doesn't want to work. When trying to call Kurt and talk to the mangers there they have an "I don't care attitude". This has affected my life in a lot of ways. I'm having to pay for a loan without having a job to do so. There should be laws put in place for these trucking companies who do wrong by people. I hope a lawyer will help me to see if at the very least these things can be removed from my DAC So that I can WORK.
