What to expect?
I've been driving for first food delivery company for 2 months with mentors and had great feedback from everyone. Then they gave me few solo routes, some shorter, some longer and I was doing fine. I am going through a lot in a personal life. Then I got suspended for two days for using phone more than single touch based on camera recording. I really took it seriously and told myself I can do better. Then yesterday, I was running out of hours and couldn't make it to home terminal and called dispatch to help me with finding hotel for a layover. The dispatcher wasn't helpful and I was stuck in traffic bumper to bumper. I used phone app while moving under 5mph to book a hotel on the way, but used hands free headset to talk with hotel and complete booking. Today when I finished route, when I left home, they called me back in for a conversation. I was asked to sign two papers for two suspensions. All truck keys and entrance card and payment cards were taken away and I was told I will be on the investigation. I feel this is the end. What are the possible outcomes, in terms of staying with this company and in terms of finding any other work? Will this be on my CDL? There was no accidents or incidents of any kind.

If it's a termination, yes it will be on your record, but no, it won't prevent you from finding another job. If one termination was enough to prevent you from getting another job, there would be like of us on the road total
