Retired Military needs answers concerning DAC

Pattyj, you are correct. I should have asked the company for additional training in backing. Would you suggest that I go back to the school that issued my CDL for retraining?

 

Tony, Mev, and Patty, just want you all to know your comments and advice are greatly appreciated!

 

xlsdraw, thank you for your comments. I am open to anyone who wants to give advice I can use.

 

OttMan, I will definitely look into that one with Hireright (DAC) and find out if they would consider applying a refresher certificate on my record. I do believe that you are right in saying that most companies would see that I am trying in earnest to redeem myself. Thank you for the great advice...

 

I haven't written to update my journey in job hunting with 4 accidents/incidents on my DAC. I have applied with over 60 companies. Some don't responds to your application, some recruiters want to help you but say that safety gave you a no go, and some talk with you and run far away. Sent in my rebuttal statement to HireRight which they posted. Asked how many companies have requested a copy and they tell me that only one has. I am being upfront and honest about everything and it seems to me that trucking driving is unforgiving. I know I made mistakes in backing but on the highway I was as careful as one could be following all the laws of the road. I found companies that are willing to hire drivers with DUI, rollovers, major wrecks, but they told me that I need 2 more months experience and they will consider hiring me. Arnold called today and told me I need one more week of experience and they would hire me. CR England stated they would hire me, called me and gave me a no go, 30 minutes later sent me a confirmation email for a spot in class, confirmation for a bus ticket, and confirmation for a hotel room. My wife told me I needed to call and they told me it was a mistake. So I am still looking for advice......
