    probably not.

    you may very well have to go for "re-training" to correct any mistakes that you may have committed.

    till then, you are unemployable.

    if you went to truck driving school, go back and pay for a "re-training" lesson or 2 or 3 or 10 or 20.....

    re-learn all over again. talk with the school about your accident, have them "test you" on the road, and have the instructor critique you.

    until you can show a potential employer that you took steps to correct your mistakes, no one will want you. as a newbie, it is YOU THAT HAS TO PROVE you are worth hiring. the companies have NOTHING to prove to you.
    the longer you wait, the more competition you will face.

    it may or may not cost you some MORE money, on top of what you have already spent, but it is YOU that has to find work, not me or anyone else that is already working.
