Recent overturn

I'd say find an O/O that's got a few trucks and is looking for a driver to fill a seat. The one I work for has 2 trucks, and he hired the driver of his 2nd truck right after he turned one over.

 

You're best bet is to flood the market and see who seems interested. Be up front and honest about what happened, and also be ready to explain how you would do it different if given a choice. I am not saying the incident was your fault, but any prospective company will know the specifics on it.

 

With larger companies it all depends if any violations were attached. Many will allow 2-3 accidents, but major violations will put you in the penalty box for 3 years. Like tenspeed said you have flood the market and you'll find someone. All the ones with websites have the hiring requirements on them.

 

For some, it may depend on wether you were let go as a result of the accident, or you later quit (or are looking to quit/move)

 

For some, it may depend on wether you were let go as a result of the accident and how long you were with that particular company, or you later quit (or are looking to quit/move). If a driver was with a company for 1.5 years and had an otherwise exemplary record with the company, many companies might not let a driver go due to a rollover unless there were troublesome circumstances surrounding the accident as per a police investigation or a company's investigation.

 

This is probably your best bet, hopefully there were no other "incidents" previous to this. This is one of the disqualifying offences on the larger carriers checklist, along with tailgating, speeding in excess of 15mph,reckless driving and refusing a drug test. They won't even consider your application with any of those.( It's not so much them as their insurance requirements, even if they're self insured.) An O/O might be alittle more forgiving. A friend of mine hired a driver with some kind of issue, don't remember what it was, but was able to bring him on by paying more for a "high risk" policy. Don't mean to call you "high risk", but that's what you'll be facing for about the next 10 years, sorry.

 

You overturned a truck and got a letter of recomendation?
That sounds strange.

Well, this whole thing seems strange.

I don't know how you could overturn your truck without it being preventable.
I don't understand how you could get a letter from the safety director.
I don't understand why you would quit a job before you had another lined up, especially with an accident like that.

 

I think your best bet is C.R. England. A while back it appeared that rollovers were a company policy with them.
