    Carolina Cargo might hire you. Do the online application before any phone calls.

    Were the accidents on construction sites or on the road. Be prepared to answer those questions.

    Do you think it is fair for a company to hire you without knowledge of your driving history? If these accidents are Micky Mouse type accidents that's one thing but if you are hitting fixed objects that is another. Yes there are a lot of companies that don't check DAC's. However even without a DAC you still are required per FMCSA rules to disclose your CDL driving history up to a full 10 years on ALL your Applications. At anytime a prospective company might call and check this. Just as a personal observation you sound like someone that might want to reconsider trucking 4 preventable's in 7 months is an excessive amount. Since you did not say the actual reason for the firing I am assuming the accidents was the reason. 7 months experience, 4 accidents (?) in that time. With all honestly based on your post in the abstract I would not hire you or recommend you to anybody.
