    I had an accident two months ago. I recently obtained a copy of my driving record and it is not on there. When i fill out applications should I not put it on there or should i let them know about it?

    Well, let's start with this:

    Was it in a truck (I assume yes) ... was a DOT inspection involved? If yes, then YES. Report it. A smart company (which 50% do) will run your PSP record and find that DOT recordable accident and in correlation - the DOT inspection with that carrier.

    Company I work for told me that they're catching alot of applicants with the PSP record and lying. I guess many drivers do not know what PSP is. Lol.

    Most companies are gonna look.....even if they don't see it and you don't disclose it, most companies do an annual MVR check, then you open yourself to the possibility of providing false information. Best to be up front because it will catch you!

    Flip a coin and make a decision, heads you lie, tail you don't . A 50/50 chance you will get it right.. Somebody once told me that. Just passing it on

    It's out there somewhere and when it shows up it will be at the wrong time...if you lie.

    Were you issued a citation? If not, then there will be nothing on your MVR.

    Wrong I've been in 2 wrecks in the last three years with zero citations and it still shows. May not have been enough time passed for it to show. I would definitely list it.

    Nope just a verbal warning
    I was told it depends on the state, some report all accidents, others only if there was a citation
