    OUCH!
    Either your very unlucky,(which I don't believe in Luck anyway), or you need to slow down a bit. Good luck with getting started again, it seems you really want to drive, so good luck.

    Bad advice! Lieing never gets you anywhere but deeper in to ####. Your last company may have been nice enough not to have put it on your DAC. But when they are ask why you where let go and they tell them. If you where not up front about what happend you're toast. Lieing never gets you anywhere good.

    oh i pay attention, but i cant help when the other driver does not.

    If the only things that goes on my DAC is when the police is involved would be the last one, the other two were just minor. Meaning i only have 1 preventable accident, giving me alot better chance at driving, but i kinda like being home everyday alot better, maybe a local job driving a dump truck would be alot better for me, everything happens for a reason..

    if loosing my job, getting my car towed and having to pay $400 to get it out and loosing my lense to my glasses making me legally blind all within 4 days, then im sure its happening for a reason... HAPPY NEW YEAR to me.

    the police don't have anything to do with your DAC. you should be able to get a free DAC report, but I don't know how. too bad you don't have a year of experience living in Gboro - you could get a job hauling fuel. (and I DO mean a JOB!)

    You can get a free copy once a year or if you qualify sometimes more often the 800 number for USIS (DAC) is 322-9651. It is a recording and will also give you the website for them. If you have to pay it is only like 8 or 9 bucks.
     
    AfterShock Thanks this.

    jasin18;
    Go to the USIS website, everything you need to get your DAC is right there, and you get a free one every year. Good luck for the New Year eh.:biggrin_25525:
     
    AfterShock and Baack Thank this.

    Uh, Jasin? Uh, it sounds like you done pissed off the big man upstairs there.:biggrin_25526:

    OK, I know, you are probably NOT in the mood to take a little kidding right now, but maybe it made you smile. . .

    Anyhow, I have to agree with danc and some others who are pointing you toward local aggregate work. But you have a bit more against you than your accidents. Your age, at 24 is about one year to young for some insurance companies.

    OTOH, a lot of these local gravel haulers may be willing to hire you anyway.

    What you need are about three years of accident free class A driving. Three years of aggregate hauling will put a LOT of experience on you as far as the handling of your truck is concerned.

    Good luck!
