MVR Question

I had assumed that the accident was in your personal vehicle..

If it is listed on your PSP as an accident there’s nothing you can do about it and that’s what carrier’s are seeing…and why you’re getting rejected. Why would they bother hiring you when they have an over abundance of drivers looking for work.

I would still file a dispute and try getting it removed from your mvr. On the PSP report it’ll show for 5 years fault or no fault.

It’s a bum rap for drivers who aren’t at fault and they don’t add details to the psp.

I had one stuck on mine after I hit a cow and had to have the truck towed.

 

It's about insurance. Thats what's causing these companies to reject you. If the companies had their way, theyd take you now. Once insurance run your MVR, and they see the accident that you had involvement in. Its unfortunate, but drivers get penalized even if they aren't at fault. After 3 years, then you won't be penalized. You still can get hired somewhere, but it may not be the cream of the crop.

 

Insurance also used to look a paper logs. "If you hadn't cheated on your log for that one 2 minute time frame, you wouldn't have been in that exact place where the wreck occurred."

 

Sure is lots of personal info on that pdf. Might want to remove it or redact your personal info.

 

One of the biggest stresses I had in trucking was bearing the consequences of other people's actions all day, every day. Traffic, parking, no detention pay, doing without food, sleep, showers, etc while everyone causing these things to happen pay no penalty and spend their time telling the next customer the freight is late because I'm probably napping somewhere instead of doing my job.
