    Put your location on your profile; there may be a dozen more choices to consider.

    Why the no's? Do you have a clean MVR, criminal history, work background etc?

    Pennsylvania Garbage Truck has more options than Boyd. Boyd is just a stick and brick hauler. Not saying theyre bad, just less options. I like options.

    I would steer clear of pgt for the time being. They recently lost their safety bonus because their truck insurance premiums are so high due to the fact that they hire so many idiots

    mcelroy didn't say why just try again in 6 months. tmc wants me to fax a copy of the accident report i had in my personel vehicle in feb of 2015 where i got hit by a idiot in a car. and maverick just wants no wrecks period.

    TMC sounds like a good bet, if they'll have you. If the accident has you AT ALL at fault, points or anything on your DMV, you may want to look into Carolina Cargo, or Western Express. You could also try Knight, but they can be picky, also.

    If tmc is asking for a copy of the accident report, it's so they can see if you made and bad decisions that contributed to the accident. They wouldn't even ask for it if you want being considered
