Well without knowing what the actual violations are. We cannot help you.
Though, you might try the local big city news paper companies, trash haulers, beverage dist., food haulers, logging companies, etc. or maybe look into craigslist at local haulers. There are hundreds of opening in my area alone for class A drivers. Many that don't require refresher courses either.HAZMAT66 Thanks this. -
Thanx for the info but im really would like to go o.t.r,,,,, the violations are 2- minor backing accidents I called them in I dented the bumper and one I scrap the trailer I called it in and the other two were called equipment preventables I tried to fight them with DAC but I lost but for the most part they are non DOT recordable thats what DAC told me (no police,no injuries,no property damage) but like I said two od them dont show up on my DAC..... Cause isnt apart of DAC so right now theres only two on my DAC...

Try Butler Transport out of Kansas City

HM, I would still try the local want ads, and Craigslist ads. As well as your states unemployment website. They have multiple listings for drivers, local and OTR.

I think im a little worried about applying to a company and they only see 2 preventables on my DAC and then they bring me on the I take 18 hour greyhound bus ride to the orientation and then they find the other two on My DAC,,cause I know ill have to sign a release form with the past companys I work for.. Then when they find the other two then they boot me out of the orientation and im back on the geryhound that would piss me off.......

So if you apply to them, tell them everything. They have about 300 trucks....pretty good outfit to get your foot back in the door. And they won't screw you over at orientaion...HAZMAT66 Thanks this. -

Are you sure the other 2 aren't on your DAC? Do you have a copy of your DAC? If they aren't on there then you should be okay with most companies, as most will hire you with 2 preventables...but 1 more and you are done. 4 incidents in 2 years is way too much though..GOAL!!!!!
