    AKA a company that doesn't run your DAC, hires anyone, runs outlaw style.... Understand now? You will more than likely have to work at a company like this for a solid year or two in order to get on with a decent company that offers benefits and runs legal... You know what I mean?

    Just keep applying..there are lots of companies that don't even use that reporting stuff...you will have to list them on an app of course , but there are plenty of folks that will hire you...hopefully Chinatown will be along with a list of those companies , or you could try sending him a PM...Good luck.

    Get a copy of your records from state DMV. Its the accident / incident / DOT reported stuff that will hurt you.

    Hate to see you go with a bag of waste 1099 company and ruin your record further.

    Do some research - get prepared.

    Can you please give us more info on what exactly happened with these accidents/incidents ? Hard to offer advice when what happened to you is vague.

    if you are anywhere near Milan IL then check out Adrian Carriers (recently bought by Road Runner) I heard they got drivers there that have D.U.I within the past five years. also heard there are drivers there with so many csa points they can not go any where else. pay is not great but at least your trucking... best of luck

    If no tow truck was called it isn't an accident. That is basic and not correct totally but you can use that as a guide post. When you fill out a job application do not list any accidents unless they are dot report-able.

    Can you drive a truck by yourself? Do you need someone to hold your hand? Are you going to keep screwing up and hitting things?

    Ask yourself those questions. If the answers are Yes, No, and No then you will find someone who will hire you. The mega companies are not the ones I want to work for anyway. A simple Google search will return over 900,000 hits on the phrase, Truck driving jobs, Illinois. If you don't get hired again, it is because you stop looking.
