Hey guys!
I’ve got a question and was hoping someone had an answer for me. I’ve been driving for some years now and I have a good driving record. I was in a single vehicle accident involving a bobtail some months back. The truck had to be towed. Details on my DR say there was no damage done or injuries to report. Long story short, the case was completely dismissed in court recently. How hard will it be to find another trucking job. Has anyone else gone through this? Any response is appreciated. Thanks.
Case dismissed!

What was the citation for?
Did your employer terminate you before the case went before the judge?
What was the grounds for the dismissal?wis bang and Thelegend725 Thank this. -

Regardless, someone will hire you. It wasn’t a serious accident and it was bobtail. I can see it being looked past. Most applications state no more than 2 or 3 preventable accidents in how within how many ever years. If worse comes to worse there are desperate companies still, but you may not enjoy working for them.
Lastly is the brake violation on your Driving record or CVSA score? Was the officer claiming the improper brake was on the truck or that you improperly braked.
Hope all will be well, stay safe out there ✌️Lav-25 and Thelegend725 Thank this. -
Just apply to companies that China can provide, this should be on your mvr but not going to stop employment,
the problem is hiring is slow for drivers who have been out of work for a while. It is a carriers employment market, so it may take a bit.tscottme, wis bang, Lonesome and 1 other person Thank this. -
