    Declined from one company? There are thousands more, just keep hacking at it! You really should have no problem. I have had many gaps in employment and the only thing you will need is proof of what you were doing during these times. Just have a family member or friend type a letter stating your business at the time and have it notarized. Like I said, I have had to do this multiple times and that's all they usually require. Its actually more of a federal thing. Not really company policy. The United Socialists States of America want to know exactly what you have been up to!

    In the United States you do not have a right to a job. A company can refuse to hire you for any reason. With the exception of age (between 40-60), race, and some others. Are you in the Kansas City area because Transport America is having a hiring fair at the Oak Grove Petro.

    the 10 year history is for DRIVING JOBS that require a CDL to the best of my knowledge. 3 years if you've never had one.

    or at least thats what all the job ads i've seen lately say.

    yep they can not hire you for a lot of reasons a gap is just one. if they don't like the way smile is good too. keep try and make sure you explain all gaps. you'll find someone to take a chance on you

    this makes a difference for sure..

    what you need to do is document your gaps. get up a detailed record, maybe using insurance checks, unemployment checks. you may need a letter or two drawn up by a business person, NOT a relative explaining your gaps. since you were recovering from a bike wreck, you may have had a lawyer handle your case..?? well guess what, who better to draw up a letter for you..???

    i too have had so many gaps, i made Alfred E. Newman jealous..!!!

    You didn't work for 3 years because you were involved in a motor vehicle accident and recovering from it - - that's more than likely the REAL reason right there...at least for that prospective employer, and their erstwhile legal department.
