    What happened with those accidents, if you don't mind me asking? Not asking to criticize, just wondering what happened

    Thats way too many, you are going to be economically too risky and uninsurable with many trucking companies for the time being. There are some workarounds such as running for a tiny company that could not be bothered to care about your preventatives.

    Hitting stuff sometimes lead to hurting people or killing them even. You need to find a way to stop hitting stuff. Im not here to be difficult. Ive had preventable before and lived the consequences as well in my past. As related to being unhireable for OTR. I just consider myself extremely lucky not to hit people or kill them. My last couple of incidents particularly in Memphis area rush hour was just too close for comfort. Unwelcome.

    You need to think carefully about the accidents and find the root cause for example being in too much of a hurry. Next thing you know you hit something. If you can solve that example by slowing down and taking your time never mind what dispatch is yammering in your ear etc They can #### well just wait until the load gets there. Once you solve this trend for good, you will continue on to bigger and better things in trucking. If you cannot, you are going to have worse and dangerous wrecks. If you did not find something else to do in life.

    Check out the 1099 companies on craigslist. You may or may not be required to run team and your teammate may or may not be an ex serial killer with a really bad drug habit.

    Nope. Says on their website that they only allow 1 accident within 5 years.
     
    Upinsmoke and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.
