Retired after over 40 years hiring drivers.
99.9% of insurance companies accept ONE at-fault accident for just about every CDL holder.
The glaring red flag for insurance [getting hired anywhere means meeting their criteria] is the reckless charge.
Companies that categorize citations major and minor; reckless is a major sin up there 'leaving the scene' and 'speeding 15mph over'. etc.
Your situation sounds like you could have easily gone to court and ended up with a lesser charge that would have eased finding another position.
Everyone, please take the time to contest your citations, in a situation like the OP meeting with the prosecutor at traffic court can lead to having charges reduced to something more favorable for your MVR record.
