I have been driving for about 4 1/2years. My first 3 years accident free with no moving violations. The last job I had was delivering to NYC 5 days a week (days) for about 1/12 years. In that time I have had 4 traffic accidents. I feel like my driving career is over. I understand most companies wont hire with more than1 accident in 3 years. I was wondering if yard jockey was a possible alternative or should I just fill out an application at Mickey D?

Carolina Cargo might hire you, but it's doubtful.
You might find a job driving job on Craigslist. On NYC cabbie found a job with an owner-operator that has just one truck . The cabbie had at least a dozen tickets & fender benders. -
Here's a few companies you could try:
Western Express
Carolina Cargo
McLeod Express
CR England -
In How many of these accidents were you charged with causing it ?
All 4 ? -
Wow, I find myself having an opposite view. I think most carriers will want to take a long look at those accidents. List them ALL. However make sure somewhere if you can in a remarks section these accidents were in some of the toughest traffic in the world. I have decades of safe driving, however in all honesty I doubt I could drive all day everyday in NYC and not have a accident. You might find a carrier to give you another chance.

A lot of that depends on the Insurance of the company. Most Insurance companies do not want the company to hire with 3 moving violations or no serious crashes in last 3 years.. It is all in how it is written.. I suggest posting apps in the bigger companies.. Never hurts to apply and be told No.. just need one to say yes and do good for a year or so..x1Heavy Thanks this.

NYC is some of the hardest driving possible in the Nation short of war.
Just about all of my conflicts involving a potential CRASH with a 18 wheeler have occurred between the GWB and the Connecticut line. Ive had a small number elsewhere in the USA but nothing like NYC.
List em all. Eventually after three years of no accidents you will be valued again for hiring.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
The question how many were you at fault. Did you get Lawyer? May be worth it to reopen case if not
