    what are my chances of getting back into trucking. I drove for Magnum from 10-2005 thru 2-2006. 4 months. I had 4 incidents of hitting stationary objects. A light pole,another trailer,cement post and boulder in rock garden. All incidences at 5 mph or less. No tickets from police. I was fired from job. I am now driving school bus for last year and a half. Will I be able to get back into truck driving after 3 years from last accident? My cdl is valid untill 1-2010.

    If you was in charge of multi million dollars in equipment and someone came to you and asked you this very question,what would you say.And be truthful you will be answering your own question.
    If it were me I would say no because in four months you got in 4 accidents and that tells me you have a problem handling the equipment.For one thing all stationary objects can be avoided even if it takes more time.
    Not trying to be funny but you hit 4 stationary objects doing less then 5 MPH. And what the heck were you doing in a rock garden......

    I have to agree, if you have a problem hitting stuff sitting still??? that tells me your careless, and cant handle the equipment. nothing to be ashamed of> and not trying to be funny, there is alot whom cant back , and the same happens to them in time. i,d say you whouldnt drive my equipment if all this happen in 4 months.. what whould you have hit in a year???? keep driving bus.
