accidents are MUCH more common than you think with newbies. The first six months is supposed to be the "line". When the economy turns around id bet any of the newbie companies would take you in a heartbeat.

Mario this is JUST my opinion. But your problem is going to be the logbook violation. Big companies are Terrified of that now. Find a small local company and you probably will do better. In fact they'll probably like seeing it.

As for the supertruckers posting their infallibility here. Microsleeps are common in truckers and pilots. You can go through them and never even realise it. It sounds like the sun knocked you out. I specifically dont drive between about 430am and 630 am for that reason. The sunrise does something to my clock and knocks me out. Its only a point and thats the biggy with the insurance companies (who really decide who gets hired). That logbook and tire thing though. Thats gonna hurt. Good luck man and cant hurt to try.

I'm being serious. Just want any and everyone's opinion, if they have one, great, if not oh well. mario724
lets put it this way, find something to keep you busy till everything is over 3 years old. I speak from expeirience, times are tight and the requirememnts have gone up. If you have only 2 tickets in 3 years and they are both over a yaer old you MIGHT posably try USA trucks.
