Want to get my CDL, one semi-recent preventable accident on MVR. Am I hosed?

Some companies won't mess with you but others only require it to be a year old. Swift being one. They will also pay for training for the cdl.

 

Several companies will hire you. Where is your location? We need to know the hiring area you live in.

 

You would be surprised. Some of the best paid dudes in the industry right now are racking up tickets hauling cattle and working in oil fields lol

Your accident is still recent you should call around and see if anyone would hire you before attending school.

 

There's always a demand for truck drivers no matter where you live but companies set standards and when it comes to accidents its their insurance that makes the call not the company.
