Chargeble Accidents?

from an employment stand point, those accidents are on your permanent record from weenie...although they are accidents,, it's more of a "company charge" than say a DOT/MVR charge...your driving record (from the DMV should be clean, unless you had other accidents on there from your past.

another company you apply to will most certainly question you about each accident, and "usually" on a separate piece of paper you must write down in detail what each one was.

what i would recommend is doing just that now on your pc and print them up, then make copies. this way you will have everything at hand when you are questioned.

this may hold you back in getting another job, but also, since they were NOT DOT reportable, there should not be the same denials of jobs either as if they had been DOT reportable's.

it will just depend on how a new employer may view them

what i would also recommend is that you go back to your driving school for a refresher and this will show a new employer you are dedicated to doing the job right.

 

Yeah, kind of like parking lot accidents. They still happened, your at fault, you just didn't get a ticket from a cop. So even though you don't have points on your license they are still viewed as preventable accidents. You probably backed into another truck or did damage to your own truck right? If its on your DAC that you were let go due to many safety violations or accidents then you are most definitely going to pay hell trying to find another driving job. Put yourself in the employers shoes, would you hire a guy you don't know with a past record stating he crashed too many times so we had to let him go? Your best bet is going to be to find a po-dunk mom and pop company that aren't going to pull your DAC report. Maybe a logging company or something up there. As far as running 48 for the big boys it isn't going to happen.

 

Spend the few bucks and get a copy of your MVR.

That is what really matters......................

and go from there.

There are a bazillion companies that couldn't care less about DAC !!!

 

If you had 4 accidents in a short time you need to find a new line of work!

 

you DID NOT MENTION in your first posting, the running of a red light......whenever you post something, DO NOT LEAVE OUT DETAILS....

there does come a time of "point of no return" when you come up to a traffic light.....if it had been green for a while, then it is to be assumed it WILL turn red soon....when we approach a traffic light that is still green, and we are at that "proverbial point of no return", and cannot stop with out skidding or even skidding through the intersection, some choose to go through the yellow/red light. this is NOT a good idea, as there may be traffic camera's at the intersection, or pedestrians in the cross walk, or cars jumping thier red lights, all which makes way for an accident. so when driving, ASSUME that light WILL TURN RED......which means, SLOW DOWN LONG BEFORE you get there.

bad weather also MAKES ONE SLOW DOWN, to be better prepared for such things. forget about the other vehicles behind you honking their horns or giving you "the bird".....

were you with your trainer at the time...????

if so, he probably could have/should have done a better job training you.

if you were NOT with a trainer, well, you should have known better to DRIVE SLOWER in bad weather...or, stay put till the weather let up a bit, but this is in the past now...

go back to school for re-training, then go out looking again.....get a copy of your MVR report.

after some re-training, you should be better aware of what you and the truck can do, or not do......

good luck, keep us informed.
