    Believe me, you should be fine. You are just going to have to lower your standards quite a bit.

    Where do you live, by the way?

    Like 25(2)+2 Said, Go to a small Ma and Pa company, They are not going to use the DAC or Hireright crap, I know a guy who got 2 Preventables it took him a while to find someone, He found a small(30 trucks) company in Ca. that didn't do the DAC thing, Just keep looking, Craigslist in your area, there is a huge shortage of drivers, maybe next time G.O.A.L. and see what you are about to run over!
    Good Luck, look here in the Trucking Jobs section for a job as well. Be sure to account for all time off of work or any gaps in employment, I have found the more transparent you are the easier it is to get a job. What part of the country are you in? Maybe if you list your need in the jobs section of Truck Paper as well as here that may help too.

    What they said. I was terminated myself for an incidents my first year and had go to a company that was just as bad if not worse as the first company. Or like someone else said find a small company but where ever you get hired at DO NOT get into any more trouble.

    So much stuff like that is preventable. I pulled alot of trailers out of ditches because drivers refuse to just stop on the road and GET OUT of the truck and have a lil walk around if unsure of something..

    Many times with a lil walk around, You will quickly realize "My truck doesnt belong in here, Or it wont fit"

    There's plenty of places in Chicago that will higher you, but pay you is another question.
