Default Where to look 4 a job after having accident being new driver

I am under six month experience. I had an accident which was my first accident and was fired from the company. Does any one have any suggestions on where I could apply for another job???

Since you got fired for a safety violation, none of the major carriers will touch you. Start checking around. Might have to drive a semi locally for a year. Be sure it's a tractor trailor, because once that safety violations is a year old, they will ask you what you've been doing for the last year. Be sure you've been using your class A at least 1500 miles a week :wink:

Yep, sorry to say your chance of getting another job with an accident so early in your career is not good.

Just keep pounding the payment and look around.


Good Luck.

Well, to be truthful, you have less than six months. You don't really know what your doing at this point. So a accident occurring does happen.

Keep trying. You get a job.

What did happen in your accident?

Where I live the local jobs are the most difficult to get. I think he would have a difficult time with a safety violation.
