1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

I really need to get back to work!

    I am looking to find a company that will hire me since i have had the unfortunate luck to have had 4 accidents in the last three years. I will not say that I was not at fault for two,I was tired and didn't pay attention. I will freely admit that but the other two are not my fault. The last one I was stupid and ignored my better judgment as well as the bad feeling about the company and took the job anyway. The customer I was delivering to blamed me for damage that was already there when I came in because my trailer had a damaged door and they knew the company would take their word over the drivers. The other one I had backed out of a parking space into two empty ones to my left rear and as I was pulling forward to bring the tractor in front of the trailer to leave,the driver in the space behind me pulled up far enough so that the tail swing of the trailer caught his hood just behind the headlight. Now according to my DAC that is listed as a right turn,none of the first three are marked as preventable or non preventable and are all non DOT reportable.
    My other hurdle is that due to 3 maternity leaves and my dad having a hip replacement that ran into one of the maternity leaves i have several unemployment times as well.This is why I really need some help here to find some kind of job because I have my kids as well as my parents to support.I have tried the local route before and this area is lousy for pay rate as well as decent employers.I also have discovered that I am not suited personality wise to be a local driver.:biggrin_25521: Any info would be appreciated but PLEASE NO INSULTING OR RUDE comments:biggrin_25510:. I know the history does not look good and am only trying to get something going again.I did not lose my job originally because of the accidents but was due to the economy.:biggrin_25524:
