    Too many accidents? How many exactly did you have in 6 months?

    Ticket doesn't matter, was there damage? You pay a ticket, the company or their insurer pays the damages.

    Likely that is going to be your hold up... Insurers. An accident every two months is not going to entice them to take you on. Too much risk.

    Sorry, bit I really do not know where to suggest you try.

    Too high risk for most companies and not enough time on the road to try ones that would let those accidents slide.

    Not trying to be a ####... but you might have to cut your losses and go into a different career field. Most companies will try to stay away from you cause they can't insure you. No offence.

    Are you saying the truck rolling off wasn't your fault. LOL yea man you will never get hired again with that one. Even guys that drive for a decade and have a minor accident are on the street. Maybe be the guy that fuels up the trucks or washes and waxes them. if you said I was backing around some things and scraped the bumper, we've all had close calls and that I would over look one of those but pulling the break is like wiping after you poop, you never forget to. now washing your hands might be different.

    Wow I hate to be mean as well but I hope you dont get behind the wheel ever again. 3 acccidents in 6 months? Forgetting to pull the brakes on a truck when parking? Ill see you on the next episode of 1000 ways to die when we see your truck taking out a fuel island.

    If you had 3 accidents in 6 months, you are not safe enough and really shouldn't be driving. Hard truth.
