Will I be able to sign on to a carrier with bad PSP report?

If you’re planning to lease to a mega carrier why waste the money to buy a trailer?

 

I missed the part about a trailer

 

Trucking can deal some expensive lessons I will say that

 

Best advice first is slow down why were you going 65 in a 60 construction zone??? That alone just makes you a target for a trooper....

 

yea, they do that when they are trying to justify their job and know the black robe doesn’t buy their ######## either

70k will probably be your insurance bill with that on there and 3 years exp.

I get it, I had the “pay cash or don’t buy it” drilled into my head for years, and I was nuts when I financed my new trailer, but I’m not buying anything used again unless it’s some oddball spare that I’m not going to use everyday, the money in the account can save lots of different things when things go sideways

 

It’s not an automatic deal breaker. Carriers look at the whole picture, not just one line on a PSP. A single work zone note with no citation and a clean MVR usually isn’t what kills an application. They care way more about patterns like multiple inspections, tickets, or crashes.

I had a warning and an inspection ding on mine a couple years back, still signed on without an issue because everything else was clean and I could explain it. Just be upfront when you apply and don’t make it sound like you’re hiding anything. Most recruiters have seen way worse.
