    so I put my app in with Schneider and they are my number one choice. Did phone interview with recruiter today. I have a minor rear ender in October of 2011 with minimal damage I wasn't ticketed for, she said as long as speed was under 30 mph all good but anything over is a five year lockout? Ok, so when I actually hit the girl, I may have been 10 mph but the speed limit on that road is 55. This has me worried. Any ideas as to what to say or ask, and why this is such a great big deal? Otherwise, no criminal history and driving record is otherwise clean.

    Most companies have a period from the last major accident. And a rollover, rear-end, etc, are considered major accidents by companies. Some may still take you, but you're gonna have to do some searching.

    Rear Enders are very serious.
    Its grounds for immediate termination at many places.
    Rear ending someone in an 80 , ooo pounds truck could
    potentially knock them into the next dimension.
    Its also demonstrates a lack of attention in a big way.
    Most accidents occur due to lack of attention.

    What matters most is if it was a DOT reportable accident. DOT reportables are when a vehicle has to be towed or a person has to be transported for medical treatment, either or. If not, it will NOT be on your CSA and Schneider will probably not care... Companies care about not raising their CSA score, but fender benders don't count.

    Rear ends count every time, no matter how minor.

    I do understand the seriousness in a big truck, but in my mind there is no pattern of this in my behavior...lol

    You might want to check on that... the only things that will disqualify you is when you have a CMV accident that is DOT reportable. Will everyone hire you, probably not, but most companies will. I won't argue with you, I'll leave it at that...

    I bet it wasn't! Lol. But a rear end is very serious. You will be hired by someone, but it's a tough deal. Good luck to you.
