Hey dewercs -
First, glad to see you are doing well and have healed,
second, I don't think you can compare the two situations, you were not ticketed, and given the chance to explain your accident I think there might be some forgiveness, unfortunatly, it is not usually the company that says no but their insurance as we all know.
I do pray that you will be able to find a company and get on with life.
Matcat:
With a preventable, a moving violation and limited experience, you will have a tough time, when I first began driving, in 1985 I drove a cryogenics tanker and rolled it in 1989. It was ruled my fault, I had four years experience and it took until 1991 for a company to give me a break, sadly, you may have a long road ahead.
BOL....
Thanks Truckerpreacher...
I was refering to the inability of getting hired. I list my accident as a non preventable on an application but i think that is what kicks me to the, do not hire stack of applications. I haven't gotten the chance to explain the accident fully. When I do speak with a recruiter they say it was a rollover, then there is nothing we can do. They pretty much don't want to hear anything else about it. I just spoke to my previous company and the recruiter said that nobody has called them and that the owner is willing to speak to anyone about my accident and how freak it was. so.....
I think I will look to see if I can talk/email one of those head hunter recruiters that have multiple accounts that need filling. Maybe I can get on that way. If I could find a job spotting trailers I'd take that if it was close to home...
Matcat... Take whatever spot you can get into a company and drive safe.
sorry to have hijacked the thread...
