Accidents on record
I had a backing accident back in July 2007. It was very minor, I backed into another truck next to me at a dock, I put a scratch on his side mirror, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but the driver threw a fit, and called his company, the cops , etc.
Cops show up, and look a the damage, it was so minor it probably could have been buffed out. They didn't write a citation because it was less than $500 in damages. They did however write up a report exchanging our information etc, but no ticket on my record.
I apply for a job with Kenan Advantage Group in November. Turns out they said I had a preventable accident on my record, plus a speeding ticket, so they wouldn't hire me.
How did they find my accident? There was no citation issued from the cop. I think it's kinda retarded they would count a small backing accident against me, they probably think I'm as bad a driver as somebody who rolled a tractor trailer into a ditch. I'm real upset because its such a non-issue but it's making me look bad on my record.
Thanks
