Recently had an accident on private property, went to insurance for the company, will this be on my record or effect me from getting a new job driving?
No tickets or police were involved.
Been in the oilfield for 3 years now.

I wouldn't worry about it, what kind of accident
-
More details?
-
Rolled over a pup, basically took a turn to tight and the ground gave way a slight bit and started sliding in to the a gultch/canal, so I floored it and it pulled up out of the gultch but then rolled. Most likely would have rolled either way cause I was loaded.
Was pulling doubles.
Lost my job for it as well. -
Not sure if it will show up on driving record since no police report was filed,but if this company uses dac services it'll show up on that as a preventable and getting terminated.
-
So it wont effect me getting added to the insurance on new companies?
Also, how bad is something like this on a DAC report? -
It would more than likely get reported on your DAC. Even if it doesn't, new prospective employer can verify employment, and ask why you were fired. Odds are they will remember a rollover.
If you have enough put back, might want to consider your own truck and authority. Insurance might be high, being you just rolled a truck, but working for other companies with a fresh rollover might be difficult.
If it were me, I'd start applying pronto. Tell new employers you were simply let go. Don't lie, but don't offer any info for no reason. Hopefully you get right back in the saddle.
My advice would be to slow down either way. Roll overs are serious, granted when your off-road all bets are off. Just got to take her easy. Slow and smooth. -
Thanks, yah i was only doing about 15-20 on a dirt road and took the turn to tight. The ground gave way a slight bit and that was it the pup went

Well I guess thats that.
The insurance company is supposed to be calling me and my boss asked me to cooperate, what would be the best method of action in this case, as in, how to handle the situation at this point to keep as much damage away from myself as possible
