    Most companies will still take you depending on how severe your 2 accidents were. If they are minor, its not the accidents themselves that are hurting you, but the frequency of them.

    The biggest threat to anyone new to trucking is the first year. You hit things do damage and sometimes break the company truck. Generally three strikes and you are out. You had two. Do not be surprised if it takes a few months to a year or more depending on what the accidents or damage were.

    It's not all bad. We once destroyed 10K in store inventory trying to extradite the rig from a trap and the safety people reviewed that one and decided that the manager of the store was at fault for not sending staff to block off cars that forced us into that corner. And so we retained our jobs.

    Another time at the VA in Sayre NY, I ruined 20 foot of curbing that has not yet cured with a spread axle trying to get into that lot. The problem prior to that was about a hour of me telling that foreman aint no #### way I can fit in there without breaking his curb.

    Presto broken. 600 dollars damage. That story was retold to 4 employers for 2 years. Minor but it was a proper story that they asked me about. You can see that clinic still there to this day with google earth and see that curbing that they repaired. Just like it was prior to the accident.
