    Was in an accident in January. Having some trouble. No one else involved, just me. Wheels came out from under me. Everyone else was going the same speed. Think I hit black ice.

    Any accident friendly companies?

    Did the accident include a rollover? That is one of the types of accidents that make it harder to get on with another carrier.

    Your company let you go for 1 non-rollover DOT preventable and only your truck was damaged while driving in adverse weather? Is there anything else you're not telling us?

    It seems drivers don't get that an accident costs money, no matter how benign it looks.
