    So I hit a box truck a few months ago, caught his lift gate, my hood and grill was pushed back. No airbags and no injuries. No damage to the box truck. Yet we had to do a police report, it was a company vehicle (non-commercial). I didn’t get fired I was just asked to do training. I still work with the current job.

    SWIFT ran my MVR, and it popped up. Should I be concerned about getting hired from them?

    They said they have to review the police report. It was my 1st accident on 5+ years.

    Was the accident “Avoidable” ?

    It was a rear end so I guess you can say it was avoidable

    I wouldn't and Swift isn't your only option if it is a problem

    I hear on Reddit that swift is the most likely one to accept that and still hire.

    If CRST will hire you, then go for it. It's only temporary. After you complete the contract, you'll have 2 or 3 dozen companies to choose from.

    If you get good news from Swift, ask for refrigerated division.

    Home - Bellavance Trucking
    A driver posted that if Bellavance accepts you for their cdl school, you stay in a truck during school, vs a motel. When you graduate, the truck you've been staying in is your assigned truck. One person told me that and he's been pretty straightforward. To me, that would be a good incentive to pass the school and get used to OTR trucking.
