Default job possibility after accident

Is it possible to get a job after an accident? I had a wreck in my second week of traiining after school-I hit tandems that had come off a double that had rolled over at the top of a hill. I wasn't ticketed and the state trooper said I was not at fault-but my company discharged me, of course. I called some recruiters, but they pretty much said they couldn't even talk to me.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I would suggest talking to as many companies as possible. I am sure that you will find a carrier who will take you. The problem you have is that you have limited experience and an accident. The accident will make it difficult to find employment, but not impossible. The fact that you were not ticketed is a plus, but if there was damage to your truck, then that will work against you. Insurance companies don't like to pay claims. When they do, carriers usually have to discharge the offending driver or face either increased premiums or find another insurance company. Unfortunately, it is usually easier to find another driver. Good luck.
