    Everything im reading online is that with 3 accidents on my record, 2 not my fault even, that I am not going to get hired for the 3 years they are on my record except with a crap company. If so I wasted my time getting a CDL if I can only make 10-13 an hour..

    What is the truth?


    Im freaking out that I wasted 2 years of my life.

    Three accidents in your personal vehicle before getting a CDL? What types of accidents and were police reports filed?

    I broke a mirror. Other two werent my fault. Someone took off my mirror and hit & ran and on another I was rear ended. I am not at fault on those 2 police reports, just the mirror I broke.

    This wasnt even a job that required a CDL

    I can't imagine that would be a problem with getting hired.

    It wasnt in a personal vehicle. It was an employers truck. The two that hit me were within 2 hours.

    I really need to know what I am looking at so I can prepare.

    Why would they hire me with no experience and 3 accidents in a company truck with clean record candidates?

    Ok, then don't apply. Sounds like you're looking for a reason to fail.
