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???

mainly it all depends on the seriousness of the accident and what the cercumstances were for the accident to occur.

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?

I would try McDonald's , Burger King, Taco Bell, or Denny's.

wow! 6 responses and nobody said, go drive a dump truck :D :D
maybe there is hope for you guys :D

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

Try Celadon. They have a strange point system in their hiring process. Good luck

you could probably get a job driving a dump truck.... :wink:

Try working for a O/O.
Early on I drove for 3 months. My mother became ill and I had to take care of her for 2.5 years. Gave up on trucking after that.
05 I posted my resume on Monster jobs and was contacted by a O/O with 6 trucks. He was leased to Bullocks Express.
He had me fill out the application all But the Employments Section. I went to his house and filled it out. He told me what to say. Apparently I worked for him from 01-05.
I passed a road test from Bullocks and was with that O/O for a year until he went bankrupt and I was in the same boat. He was unreachable for a reference. That didnt stop me. Signed up with a day labor company that had Class A jobs.
Another O/O found me. This was ever better then before. I never filled out an application. Did a road test on monday and was gone on Tuesday.
He has his own trailer and DOT #.
I quit a year later because he could not pay me on time and owed me $1400 for fixing tha A/C in the truck.

Bottom line is... If you keep looking you will eventually find someone to hire you. Most times O/O with a few trucks are desperate to keep their trucks rolling.
I would go down that road for right now until you get back into it

Check for the local haulers that haul rock out of the quarrys with end dumps, or might try asphalt tankers.
