I recently just got fired from my first trucking company after driving for them for 7 months. I did an illegal u-turn and someone reported it. Now I'm in search of a new job but should I wait to apply for my DAC report to get back before I start filling out applications again?... Will that incident even show up on it?... (no cops were called/involved, no one injured, no accidents occured). Is that so bad of a blemish that I should probably consider a whole new line of work?...
DAC reporting am I done driving?

You could see if it's on your DAC, but everyone is STARVING for drivers. You have 7 months, clean record, no CSA points, you will find work no problem.
There a rats everywhere, most mega's a U Turn is auto term, because they have so many drivers that can't even perform a standard turn without crashing into something.Puppage, lagbrosdetmi, tscottme and 1 other person Thank this. -
You're overthinking it. Start putting in apps and you'll have a job in a couple of days.
Fess up; you violated company policy. No tickets involved.

For a U-turn??? I do them when I miss a turn or something.. If the traffic is clear and there is room... I've never heard of such a thing. I would not work for a company that petty.. Now if you ran over a 4 wheeler in the process maybe you would deserve the termination but if it was done safely as possible.. And EVERYTHING we do is done "best possible"... Then I don't see the problem... Sure you are employable, apply to my company. Woody Bogler Rosebud MO. Ask for Ben.
