I was driving home new years morning and had an animal run in front of my personal pickup and over corrected and rolled it, was ticketed, I was completely sober nothing in my system to cause a DUI or anything. Just trying to figure out who would hire me now I just got my CDL back in november
Have an accident on my record from New years this year, who would hire me?

is it a reportable DOT accident?
-
what do you mean by that? sorry still learning I am only 24 this is all new
-
The accident will appear on your state DMV record but not on CSA or any DOT record. You were in your own personal vehicle, not in a commercial vehicle. This can be explained to any perspective employer and I would not worry too much about it.

Schneider turned me down already
-
^Yeah, Schneider doesn't want you to have an at fault accident in the last 5 years, which is ridiculous... they did you a favor.
For the most part, companies want you to have no more than 1 at fault accident (sometimes 2) and no more than 3 moving violations in the last 3 years.
If this past new years is your last accident in the last 3 years, you're fine. -
just spoke with Roehl an the lady told me to just state I had an accident due to an animal and let them see what shows up on my dmv record
-
1 accident should be fine most places. I'm sure there are others like Schneider who will say no but more will say yes. I think with no ticket being issued it should work to your favor.
I'm assuming you got towed away? Did the cops file a report. I would get a copy and also pull your MVR to see what's on it. -
yeah cops were called and I got a ticket but fighting it currently with a lawyer to get it dropped and he believes he can get it dismissed and it was towed
-
Your original post said you didn't receive a ticket??
