"Preventible accident" advice needed
I have 4 "preventable accidents" now on my DAC. (all were in yards and all involved trailers and were more incidents then accidents.) 2 of which are BS and I will appeal). I now have been turned down by the first 3 big companies I have applied to as a result of these. My main question is if I went to a lease program are these things still checked before employment? Thanks

Accidents in yards don't count. You can even run over little kids in a yard, no problem. Not like you actually did anything. I'm sure if someone ran into your car in the yard you would be OK with it. As soon as you lease you become a better driver so no one cares what you did before.

Just that you see this type of question all the time. It was just accidents/incedents in a yard so it shouldn't make any difference.
Right along with the"does ***company do hair drug tests? I tested positive but it's BS. Someone must have put pot in something i ate. Just the typical "i'm not responsible for what i do" It's someone elses fault. But i really am an azzhole.

Anything on a DAC can be disputed and according to the law if the company does not counter your dispute must be removed. Only incidents that are DOT reportable accidents should be listed as accidents on the DAC, so that would be where i would stand in the appeal. The report must then be amended to 'incident' or removed. Most big companies do not care much what the details were, rather just count 1, 2, 3- you're out whether accident or incident. So your goal in the appeal should be removal.
