    Ok I have been driving for 18 months. Worked for 3 companies so far and I have my hire right report and it shows 0 DOT reportable accidents within the last 7 years,and 2 Non DOT reportable accidents within the last 7 years. I have 0 points as of yesterday on my MVR and unfortunately I had a accident yesterday where I clipped a tow truck that had his nose of the truck out on the lane of a curved exit ramp. I also have a lane restriction ticket in January. Do anybody know of a company that will give me a chance based on my record ?

    Were you fired?
    I know a few that will probably hire you anyway.
    May have to put in several applications, but I think you'll get a couple of job offers.

    With your record and job hopping the next job is probably gonna be worse that the other three you left.

    Did they drug test you yesterday, if they did, (and they SHOULD have) did you pass?

    Take respinsibility for your last accident. If you were looking you could have seen that you were going to clip the tow truck.

    Hopefully start learning from your mistakes. There are companies that will hire you and Chinatown will steer you right. Like said above lower your standards on what kind of company you would work for and pay your dues. It could be a rough road ahead but you'll make it if you preserver.
     
    Hanif1198 Thanks this.

    Sounds like there may be a need to slow down to prevent these from happening.

    If you don't change your ways, driving trucks won't be an option soon.

    Yes... there are jobs out there. 4 jobs in 18 months is crazy.. I was no saint when I first started, but some introspection may be in order.
