    If you still have your CDL, you WILL NOT have to go through truck driving school again. Since you been off the road for 4 1/2 years, most companies would require a refresher course, or go out with a trainer for awhile to make sure you can still drive a truck after being out of a truck for that length of time. No company is going to let you go solo after being off the road that length of time

    It is possible that you may have to wait an additional 5 years to get this incident off of your DAC report, in conjunction with solidifying your work history and MVR.

    Good luck to you!

    God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Welcome to the forum....Good luck on your search too. I hate to rain on your parade , but it may be somewhat difficult to get hired on , roll-overs are just as bad if not worse than DUI's/DWI convictions....unless the roll-over was due to a vehicle malfunction like a blown steering tire.

    I know they would have me rather hit someone head on and killed them than roll the truck. cuz that would have been the other persons fault
